Holman Middle School Students See Impressive Reading Improvement with DreamBox Reading

Holman Middle School, part of the Pattonville School District, aimed to provide a rigorous education and help its students reach grade-level reading targets, monitor progress, and become lifelong readers. To address this challenge, the school partnered with vendor Discovery Education and implemented its Reading Plus program as a major component of its reading classes.

Discovery Education's solution involved using Reading Plus to personalize learning, utilizing its dashboards for teachers and students to set goals and track progress in real time. The measurable results were significant, with students averaging 2.7 reading level gains in the 2021-22 school year. This success built on earlier implementation where Tier 2 and 3 students also showed substantial growth, helping educators move students toward grade-level proficiency.
