I Am Education: Kids Tell All - Sammy

Sammy is a compassionate and friendly 12-year-old who, in fifth grade, was reading at only a first-grade level. 

Students like Sammy with low literacy skills are often the ones who drop out of school. Knowing this, Sammy's teachers and reading coaches worked to get him reading at grade level—and succeeded.
