RE: READ TO SUCCEED! PROJECT
Dear Ms. Atwater,
Orchard Middle School is pleased to present this proposal for your review. We look forward to partnering with you to provide a reading intervention program for our students with poor reading skills called Read to Succeed! Orchard Middle School has over 50 at risk students with a reading performance of at least two years behind their current grade level. The objective of the Read to Succeed! program is to help all students with poor reading skills learn to read at grade level and increase their reading speed, comprehension, and reading attention span. During the last year, we have been piloting the Read to Succeed! program with a small group of students with poor reading skills and have seen dramatic improvements with most of the students increasing their reading ability by one to two grade levels. The Read to Succeed! program provides students with access to assistive reading systems, along with training for classroom teachers and reading specialists. We have seen measurable success and we are now seeking to expand our Read to Succeed! program to address the needs of all the at risk students in the Orchard Middle School. Our proposal requests $16,504 in funding to obtain the software, hardware, and training necessary to equip the Orchard Middle School resource room with five assistive reading systems, each including a computer, scanner and assistive reading software. We appreciate ABC Foundation taking an interest in helping our students develop their reading skills through our new reading program! Please give me a call at 703-555-1212 x342 if you require any further information or have any questions concerning this proposal.Thank you,

Read to Succeed! Improving Reading Performance for At RiskStudents
Project Abstract
The project abstract should present a concise summary of the project. It should be no longer than apage and include the need for the project and the population it will serve, a brief description of the
project and its goals and objectives, as well as the applicant's background and qualifications. Make
sure you include the amount of funding that is being sought. Finally, mention how the program will be evaluated to measure the success of the programs. The abstract should be the last section you write. The Orchard Middle School, in Orchard, VT is seeking a grant to expand our Read to Succeed!program with the objective of helping all of our at risk students increase their reading skills and to
read at grade level using the same classroom textbooks and materials as their peers. The objective is
that by the end of the year the students will have at least doubled their reading speed and will have
improved their reading skills by one to two grade levels. The Read to Succeed! program is based onthe latest research on effective reading instruction. Funding in the amount of $16,504 is requested for
staff training and to purchase the required software and hardware for the school's resource room.Statement of Need
The statement of need should describe the problem that the project will attempt to address. Also, describe the population that will be served. Orchard Middle School has 276 students, of which 59 have been determined to be at risk in theirreading performance for a variety of reasons including learning disabilities, such as attention deficit
disorder (ADD) and dyslexia, or other economic and language-based difficulties. Orchard MiddleSchool is eligible for Title 1 funds and if these students are not given an opportunity to improve their
reading skills they are, as studies show, more likely to be truant and drop out of school.Program Description
Describe the project or program and provide information on how it will be implemented. Include information on what will be accomplished and the desired outcome. The Orchard Read to Succeed! project will enable at risk students to improve their reading skillsthrough utilization of five computers equipped with scanners and assistive reading software. Students
using this innovative reading system will be able to utilize all their classroom materials, including
textbooks providing them access to the general curriculum. The students will increase their reading speed and comprehension, which will help them obtain classroom subject proficiency. Included in theRead to Succeed! project will be a day of training for the reading specialist and classroom teachers on
the features and use of the Kurzweil 3000 software.Kurzweil 3000 Assistive Reading Technology
Include information on any new assistive technology that you will be using, or attach a brochure from
the manufacturer to the Appendix section of proposal. Kurzweil 3000 software, from Kurzweil Educational Systems, uses a multi-sensory approach to help students with learning and reading difficulties. The Kurzweil 3000 was developed for people withreading difficulties caused by learning disabilities, such as dyslexia, attention deficit disorder (ADD)
and other language based difficulties. The Kurzweil 3000 is research-based assistive reading software
developed with guidance from leading reading experts. It enables all children access to state and national curricula and conforms to today's research focused funding requirements. With the Kurzweil 3000, a student with reading difficulties has access to textbooks and classroom materials displayed as an exact image on the computer screen. The text is then read aloud using the highest quality, most human sounding synthetic speech while highlighting words and sentences visually on screen.One of the benefits of using assistive reading technology, such as the Kurzweil 3000, is that students
are able access classroom textbooks for increased access to general curriculum materials. This meansthey can use the same materials used in the classroom and the students are able to continue learning in
the least restrictive environment. In addition to reading tools, Kurzweil 3000 includes audible tools to
assist word decoding (syllabification and spelling) , tools to assist with writing (spell-checking and word-prediction), and a tool that speaks and highlights pages from the Internet, opening up a whole world of knowledge. The Kurzweil 300 can also be used for classroom and standardized test-taking, offering more independence for both the student and teacher. Assistive reading technology has been shown (e.g., Heckler, L., Burns, L., Katz, L., Elkind, J., and Elkind, K. 2002 ; Elkind 1998) to help poor readers increase reading speed and comprehension, as well as increase attention.References

Describe the project objectives in measurable terms that address the academic and technology needs of the students.The goal of the Read to Succeed! Project is to enable at risk students and students with learning and
reading disabilities to improve their reading skills to the point where they can succeed in school and
develop the reading skills that will prepare them for high school and post secondary education. Studies have shown that poor readers, who are reading at a grade level or more behind, are morelikely to be disruptive in the classroom, truant from school, and at risk of dropping out of high school.
The main objectives include:
1. Providing a measurable increase in reading speed, comprehension, and reading attention span.
The objective is that the students will double their reading speed and increase their reading skills by one to two grade levels by the end of the school year.2. Enabling poor readers to access the general curriculum through the use of assistive reading
technology to scan and read their textbooks and other classroom materials.3. Providing learning disabled students with a multi-sensory reading alternative that will help them
increase their reading speed to the point they can read on their own.4. Helping learning and reading disabled students stay in their regular classroom with their peers, so they can continue learning in a least restrictive environment.
