Brodhead Elementary adopted Reading Assistant in 2005 and immediately began seeing results. The program helped supplement the school’s reading curriculum and after struggling fourth graders used the program for several months, the program was implemented for all of Brodhead’s students.
The entire fourth grade class of Brodhead Elementary School in Brodhead, Kentucky, can now read proficiently thanks to a long-term, school-wide focus on literacy that includes Reading Assistant™ software.
