Case Study: San Ysidro Adult School achieves English language fluency with Discovery Education’s Reading Plus

San Ysidro Adult School boosts English fluency from 80 to 180 words per minute with Discovery Education

San Ysidro Adult School, part of the Sweetwater Union High School District, sought to help its adult learners achieve English language fluency. One of its students, a native Spanish speaker, faced challenges with reading comprehension and confidence. The school utilized Discovery Education's Reading Plus program to address this.

Discovery Education's Reading Plus provided an adaptive, personalized platform that started with beginner-level texts and increased in complexity as the student's proficiency grew. The solution led to significant results: the student's reading speed improved from 80 to over 180 words per minute, and she achieved full proficiency across all grade levels within eighteen months. The program also greatly enhanced her vocabulary, comprehension, writing skills, and overall confidence, demonstrating the measurable impact of Discovery Education's solution.
