Literacy for Life: Schools plan to standardize reading skills NevadaAppeal.com:

"Teachers are beginning a three-year process to align the reading curriculum throughout the district.

Susan Keema, associate superintendent for educational services, said it's important because reading is the fundamental skill that serves as the backbone to education.

“It's the No. 1 thing,” she said. “You can't pass a math or science test unless you can read. If a person can't read, they can't even take a driver's test.”"
