37% of 4th graders in the United States read "below basic," which means they cannot read, according to the National Assessment of Educational Progress.
70% of 4th graders, who are identified as students with disabilities, are reading below basic levels.
52% of 4th graders eligible for free and reduced-price lunch are reading below basic levels. Children from families with incomes at or below 130% of the Federal poverty level are eligible for free meals.
