Effective Practices and Programs for Teaching and Reteaching
Reading and Mathematics
Purpose
The aim is to provide quality research and a sound educational guide for teachers, which sup-
ports a variety of programs and methods for remediating skill deficiencies. When provided with
effective, meaningful experiences and given enough time, students will become proficient in
reading, writing, and mathematics.
The Good Ones are Not at Home
Ready or not, here they are! In September, 3.6 million youngsters enter school; 25 percent of
these children live in poverty; for blacks, the figure is 50 percent, and for Hispanics, 40 percent.
Today, out of 80 million households in the nation, 9.5 million are headed by a single female
parent, 16 percent of whom are under age 25, 50 percent unemployed, 42 percent living in
central cities. In fact, every day in America, 40 teenage girls give birth to their third child. In
1955, 60 percent of households matched the traditional family image of one mother, one father,
and two children; today it’s 4 percent. The 1950’s family is gone. The family today is different,
maybe no better or no worse, but different. As Larry Lezotte said, “The parents are sending us
the best kids they have. They are not keeping the good ones at home.”
