Folks, Sara works at an organization that works to bring kids up to
grade level in reading and math through targeted, aggressive
after-school tutoring. She's been at the organization for one
semester. Recently, she gave some of her students diagnostic tests.
The results are below. (As you read them, keep in mind that these
kids see tutors for just a few hours a week and they've only been at
it for one semester.)

Of the 6 children tested in reading comprehension:
2 moved forward one-and-a-half grade levels
1 moved ahead one full grade level
2 moved ahead half a grade level
and 1 made no growth

Of the 3 children tested on word recognition:
1 moved forward 2 grade levels
2 moved forward 1 grade level

Mega props to Sara!
