Material Detail

Are plummeting literacy skills the new pandemic among young learners?

Dozens of studies over the past year have shown alarming drops in the percentage of students meeting reading benchmarks at the beginning of the current school year, particularly among grades K–2, where 50% or more of students are already behind on foundational literacy skills. The learning loss in math is similarly significant and persistent, those same studies show.

Technology-based solutions are more available and capable than ever before, particularly for the estimated 20% of students with language-based disabilities.
