Ignite Reading officials joined school leaders and students at Alpha: Jos\u00e9 Hern\u00e1ndez today to showcase the nationally recognized program. The demonstration was followed by a Q&amp;A session and panel discussion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"357\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alphapublicschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Ignite_Reading_and_San_Jose.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17958\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alphapublicschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Ignite_Reading_and_San_Jose.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.alphapublicschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Ignite_Reading_and_San_Jose-300x214.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Ignite Reading is currently serving 100 students in grades 3 through 5 at Alpha: Jos\u00e9 Hern\u00e1ndez School. They are currently accelerating at a growth rate of 2.8 weeks of reading skills per week of instruction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEnsuring all students are prepared for success in life is an equity issue. Reading can open doors or close students out of opportunities. Bringing tutoring into our school day through Ignite Reading\u2019s tutoring program is showing early success that we\u2019re planning to build on in the months to come,\u201d said&nbsp;<strong>Alpha Public Schools CEO Shara Hegde.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ignite-reading.com\/\">Ignite Reading<\/a>&nbsp;pairs students with expert tutors who deliver daily, 15-minute, Science of Reading-based instruction to help them master the key foundational skills that equip them to become independent readers.The one-to-one virtual program is integrated into the school day and takes some of the burden off teachers by providing individualized instruction for every student.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The company is now teaching thousands of students to read across 13 states with further plans to expand nationwide. In addition to California, Ignite Reading is partnering with schools and districts to serve thousands of students in Arkansas, Colorado, Indiana, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Virginia this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re excited to expand our partnership with Alpha Public Schools to help more San Jose students enhance their reading skills. Through Ignite Reading\u2019s individualized tutoring, students are making significant progress, gaining nearly three weeks\u2019 worth of reading skills for every program week. The positive influence on their social-emotional development is also notable. It\u2019s an honor to continue supporting the incredible local students, families, and educators in San Jose,\u201d said&nbsp;<strong>Jessica<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>Reid Sliwerski, Founder &amp; CEO of Ignite Reading.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eschoolnews.com\/newsline\/2024\/02\/15\/san-jose-students-in-ignite-readings-tutoring-program-nearly-triple-reading-growth-in-two-months\/\">eSchool News<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SAN JOSE \u2013 Since the launch of Ignite Reading&#8217;s partnership with Alpha: Jos\u00e9 Hern\u00e1ndez School in November, the organization announced&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-17959","news","type-news","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.4 -
