The purpose of this study is to review and analyze research findings on how the various environments in which students live affect the development of their ability to learn to read and to continue with school success. Within these environments, a measurable characteristic would be the family’s socioeconomic status. Socioeconomic differences are conventionally indexed by such demographic variables as household income and parents’ education and occupation, alone or in some combination. This researcher will distinguish the predictor (low SES) of academic achievement
of students from the causes of explanations of reading difficulties. The SES of a family is an easily accessible measure.
This researcher will also identify the risk factors that low – SES children might
face so parents, teachers and administrators of the Berlin School District may devise and implement effective interventions for these students. A proposal will be made of identifying these children as well as posing that these children should be receiving services to prevent academic difficulties in the future.
