A Growing Literacy Crisis
Reading proficiency is crucial for the future success of our youth. Shockingly, only 35% of fourth graders in the US are proficient in reading. Children who struggle with reading by the end of third grade are four times more likely to drop out of high school. The educational gap has widened due to the pandemic, particularly affecting low-income and minority students. This growing literacy crisis needs urgent attention.
