Striving Readers Program
Eligible applicants for Striving Readers include LEAs that have schools that are eligible to receive funds under Part A of Title I of the ESEA, pursuant to section 1113 of the ESEA, and serve students in one or more grades in grades 6 through 12.
The purpose of the Striving Readers program is to raise the reading achievement levels of middle and high school-aged students in Title I-eligible schools with significant numbers of students reading below grade level. The program supports new comprehensive reading initiatives or expansion of existing initiatives that improve the quality of literacy instruction across the curriculum, provide intensive literacy interventions to struggling adolescent readers, and help to build a strong, scientific research base for identifying and replicating strategies that improve adolescent literacy skills.
