Hello! Yesterday one of you emailed asking for sources of general literacy statistics. Many of you are probably interested in knowing this too, so here are my go-to sources for statistics on literacy (and all education topics):<br>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://cffo.convio.net/site/DocServer/2011_Data_Book_v10_web.pdf?docID=2621&AddInterest=1821">Children First for Oregon</a>: Page 7 has statistics for the state, then there is a page for each county so you can get statistics specific to your region
and compare them with the state statistics.</li><li><a href="http://www.ode.state.or.us/search/page/?id=1722">Oregon Department of Education: Reports</a>: Allows you to get school district level statistics on Reading & Lit. Click on 'Assessment', look under 'Results-District and School' and click on 'Search
Test Results (2004-2011)' and you'll pull up a page that allows you to create detailed reports by year, district, population, and subject. </li><li><a href="http://schools.oregonlive.com/">OregonLive.com: Your Schools</a>: Provides similar information as ODE. There aren't as many options for creating detailed reports as ODE, but their reports are more user-friendly snapshots of statistics.<br>
</li><li><a href="http://nces.ed.gov/fastfacts/#">National Center for Education Statistics</a>: They have tons of statistics, but I have their 'Fast Facts' page is pretty easy to use. Click on 'Assessments', then click on 'Reading' and you should find national statistics.
You can also find state-by-state ranking under 'Assessments' if you are interested in learning how Oregon compares. </li></ul>
<div>Enjoy!<br>
