on how often you attend.

The more you attend
the more it is worth.

by the Carl H. Peterson Scholarship Trust.

$200,000 to $300,000 of scholarships

ADVICE TO PARENTS:
GET TWICE THE RESULTS
BY ATTENDING 5 DAYS PER WEEK

A 5-day per week attendance,
instead of a 3-day attendance,
will double your child's grade gains.

This is the best value
for your investment
of time or money.

Our results since 1964 show
that optimum grade-level
and self-concept gains
are very dependent on frequency
and consistency of attendance.

3-day per week students are likely
to make one half year gain
in 6 weeks.

(36 hours in 6 weeks.)

5-day per week attendance produces
twice the results.

5-day per week students are likely
to make a one year gain
in six weeks.

3-day attendance value $782.00
36 hours at 22.00 per hour.
5-day attendance value $1,408.00
64 hours at 22.00 per hour.
-----------------------------
EXPLANATION:

FREQUENT ATTENDANCE
MAKES FASTER GAINS.

Examples:

When students attend our Accelerated Schools:

5 days per week,
results average one grade-level gain
per 32 hours.
3 days per week,
results average one grade-level gain
per 37 hours.
2 days per week,
results average one grade-level gain
per 54 hours.
1 day per week,
results in no predictable gain.
--------------------------

CONCLUSION

Students are much less likely
to make gains when they attend
less than three times per week.

Many schools offer special help
once or twice per week.

If other schools would schedule
their remedial help five times per week,
their grade gain results
would increase dramatically.

WHY ARE WE DOING THIS?

In 1964,
Carl Peterson decided
to "prime the reading pump."

He wants to raise
public consciousness.

Peterson works to prove that
"students don't have to fail"
when given the proper instruction
and scheduling.
