What is the reasons why some high school graduates are unable to read?
Here are some causes:
- Lack of understanding of the importance of literacy and reading
- Lack of suitable reading material, especially in poor areas of the world
- Lack of motivation, or lack of a suitable "reward" for reading well (a good reward can be a good job, a high school diploma, or even a school prize)
Here are some of the many effects of poor reading:
- unable to understand things like bills, contracts or directions that are needed for a job and at home
- negative social image due to lack of skill
- negative social image due to others' perception that a non-reading person must be unintelligent
- unable to understand many common facts needed in life, such as basic knowledge of science, history, and social studies
- unable to enjoy the pleasures of reading as an entertainment
It's hard to get teens off of cell phones, video games, television, and the computer. Find some good and relevant books and offer to read it with them. Set an example by reading yourself--it will give you something to talk about. Encourage a "no electronics" time periodically. Offer rewards--perhaps see a movie based on a novel; offer to take them and a friend to the movies (or rent movies based on books).

Sat scores needed to get in to University of Texas in Austin?
The Attorney General of the State of Texas ruled several years ago that standardized test scores cannot be used as the sole basis for denying an applicant admission to a state-supported college or university. Thus, there are no "required" SAT scores for admission to UT-Austin. Admissions decisions are relative. That is, it depends entirely upon the applicant pool at the time. UT-Austin has a set number of new students (freshmen and transfers) that they admit each year. Presuming that they operate like most other universities, a number of factors are considered when making admission decisions - standardized test scores (SAT or ACT), high school and/or junior college GPA, essay quality (content, style, grammar), high school class rank, recommendations, applicants' experiences (participation in extracurricular activities, volunteer service, leadership activities, etc.) and, perhaps, personal interview results. Remember, that ALL state-supported colleges and universities in Texas are required by law to admit any applicant who graduates in the top 10% of his or her class in high school.
How hard is it to transfer to UT Austin?
It all depends on your GPA and the program that you want to major in. If you want to major in engineering, business or architecture you will need a high GPA. Try doing community service and other extra curricular activities, it might help you out if you decide to apply.
