In this 2024/25 study, the progress of 103 young learners using Sharpen Reading digital platform was evaluated. Before using Sharpen Reading, the majority of students in this study were reading one or more grade levels below expectation. Traditional supports weren’t enough to accelerate growth and close the gap. The results show that learners' consistent and structured use of Sharpen Reading helped struggling readers not only catch up but often exceed their grade‑level targets within months.
