tudent achievement data reflect that nearly half of the students in the United SStates have serious reading difficulties. As part of our duty to provide the best education to the precious students of the State of Florida, the need for a more comprehensive statewide reading initiative is evident. From 2000 to 2001, Charlie we saw our reading Crist scores in-crease by 2% Florida for fourth graders, 4% for Department of eighth graders and 9 per- Education, cent for tenth graders. Commissioner While we are thrilled to see this improvement, we still have much to do. On the reading portion of the 2001 administration of the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT) 47 percent of fourth graders, 57 percent of 8th graders and 62percent of 1 Oth graders taking the test scored in the bottom two performance i levels, which indicate performance below grade w level.
