Developing Successful Readers in the Mid-South

The Memphis Striving Readers Project is designed to test the efficacy of the Memphis Content Literacy Academy professional development model for improving reading achievement and content literacy in high-need urban middle schools serving grades 6-8. All teachers in Striving Readers treatment schools are eligible to participate in the professional development program. The district employees READ 180 as a targeted intervention for 960 students in grades 6-8. The University of Memphis implemented the school level intervention (MCLA) and Research for Better Schools evaluates the district's Striving Readers project.
