Purpose
• In order to assist migrant students in grades K-12 and out-of-school youth to become proficient in literacy (reading, writing, and study skills) and overcome barriers to high school graduation. Through this project, we will create and expand on already successful, scientifically-based reading lessons, assessments, and resources on the Migrant Reading NET (www.migrantreadingnet.com), going well beyond to incorporate literacy on the new Migrant Literacy NET (www.migrantliteracynet.com).
