Teachers are struggling to teach kids to read. Around 20% of kids in
many countries where English is taught can barely read in English.
In the US in January 2001, President George W. Bush announced his plan
called “No Child Left Behind”.
Now, in 2015 after 15 years the percentage of children who can barely
read in English remains the same as it was in 2001 which again was the
same as it was in the 70’s.
The main thing kids do in
school is learn to read, and when they don't, they feel stupid. So how can
we prevent reading failure?
