Parents Improve Your Children's Reading Skills
HIGHLY REGARDED AUTHOR ROSA HIGGS CREATES PHONICS WORKBOOKS THAT DRASTICALLY IMPROVE READING SKILLS IN ABOUT 40 HOURS OF INSTRUCTION
Rosa Higgs, a teacher from Berkeley, California, who has proven why phonics instruction matters. Her phonics workbook series, entitled Read in 40 Hours or Less, are designed to help Black students learn to read well and beyond grade level in less than 40 hours of direct instruction.
Across the country, students are experiencing a K-12 crisis in reading skills. In the state of California, millions of dollars are spent every year on education, but students and teachers are overwhelmed by COVID-19 and distance learning and the lack of improved reading skills for many vulnerable Black students proves it.
The coronavirus was a test of America’s ability to provide quality and equitable education to all students. The virus wrecked the school system with unfathomable momentum highlighting known disparities of Black students' access to computers, the internet, trauma, and basic needs such as food and adequate shelter. The Read in 40 Hours or Less workbook series can take schools from inadequate to extraordinary by improving reading skills for our vulnerable Black and Brown students.

Announcement of the Action was made by Gary Puckett, Executive Director, following the September Commission Meeting of the Council on Occupational Education on September 17, 2022.
The award of accreditation status is based on an evaluation to demonstrate that the institution meets not only the standards of quality of the Commission, but also the needs of students, the community, and employers.
The Commission’s evaluation process includes an extensive self-study by the institution and an intensive review by a visiting team of professional educators representing the Commission’s member institutions from other states.
Petra College began its self-study in March 2019 and underwent a team visit in November 2021. The visiting team chairperson was Olga Gusak.
