The Incredible Benefits of Reading on Student Success

May 26, 2023 by Excel High School

In the United States, only an average of about 79% of adults read well enough to be considered “literate.” Literacy being simply “the ability to read and write” doesn’t mean that 79% of adults can read and write proficiently; it only means that they can recognize words by sight and assemble letters to make words. The levels of literacy necessary to be successful, however, are far higher than that minimal definition. In fact, a student’s reading comprehension directly corresponds as a predictor of both college and career success. That means that if you want your student to be successful, it’s time to convince them about the magical benefits of reading on their success.

Excel High School is a great school! My daughter was in another online high school last year, but she was not challenged and was not being prepared for college.

Since starting this year at Excel, she is being fully challenged in honors courses. My daughter told me the other day, "mom, I have never had to work so hard in school". We love you Excel High School and Anna will be with you until she graduates next year.
