Problem Statement
The Public Schools System requires that individual students develop and demonstrate first grade reading skills to advance to the second grade. Developing reading skills is a challenge for first graders. First graders, whose primary language is other than English, have an additional (language) barrier to overcome in order to develop their reading skills.
