Thanks to the generosity and support of Wells Fargo Advisors, students at Dunbar Elementary School have a renewed interest in reading. Students easily eclipsed the goal of reading 6,000 books this school year by surpassing the 7,000 mark last week.
Wells Fargo Advisors provided tutors and purchased and implemented an online program that measures student growth in reading levels as compared to the national averages.
By increasing the number of books read, Dunbar students in grades 1-6 realized a measurable growth in reading level scores. Pre-school and kindergarten students saw an increase in the number of vocabulary words mastered.
