There was an article on The News Dispatch (a newspaper based in Michigan City, Indiana) website about the success of the READ 180® program for Michigan City students.
According to the article, nearly 72% of the students (that's 540 out of 751) who participated in the program gained at least one grade level of comprehension. Students at the high school level saw a three-fold improvement in their lexile scores (a way to measure literacy levels and comprehension rates).
The READ 180 program is a comprehensive system of curriculum, instruction, assessment, and professional development designed to help struggling readers in grades 4–12+.
