When Martín, 12, first came to the Learning Center in the fall of 2013, he was reading at a pre-kindergarten level, even though he was in the fifth grade. Once Martín entered the Learning Center, he became a dedicated and enthusiastic learner: he has regularly attended class and he has had two years of reading growth since September 2013. In other words, Martín spent four years in public school and did not learn how to read, but after spending seven months in our Center, with one hour a day, three days a week, he became literate. This might sound surprising, but it isn’t: Martín is a smart and clever child who, with proper support and good teaching, has exceeded and will continue to exceed expectations.
