San Ysidro Adult School Student Finds English Language Fluency with DreamBox Reading

San Ysidro Adult School, part of the Sweetwater Union High School District, sought to support adult learners like Angelica in achieving English language fluency and earning a high school diploma. The student faced challenges with reading speed, comprehension, and confidence, which were critical barriers to her academic and career goals. To address this, the school utilized Reading Plus from Discovery Education.

Discovery Education's Reading Plus provided an intelligently adaptive and personalized online platform. It started Angelica with beginner-level texts and gradually increased their complexity as her proficiency grew. The solution delivered significant results: her reading speed improved from 80 to over 180 words per minute, and she completed all program grade levels within a year and a half. The platform also led to marked improvements in her vocabulary, writing proficiency, and overall confidence, enabling her to write essays with ease and feel the improvement in her daily life.
