Reading is Rocket Science: What Voters, Parents, and Educators Need to Know about Early Literacy Instruction

We look forward to seeing you at the luncheon!

In lllinois, only 33% of 4th graders scored proficient in reading in 2019. In the New Trier District, approximately 33% of 3rd and 4th graders failed to meet grade-level standards from 2015-2019. The good news is that according to the National Institute of Health, 95% of children could learn to read if evidence-based methods were used in our classrooms. 21 other states have already passed legislation to remedy the issue.This program will explain the science of early reading instruction, give a short overview of potential policy solutions, and provide insights from a local school district superintendent who is taking a leadership role in bringing reform to Illinois.<a href="https://www.therecordnorthshore.org/2021/12/21/thanks-to-avoca-d37-state-group-will-push-for-legislation-to-combat-early-literacy-shortcomings/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">To read more about Avoca&#x27;s efforts in early literacy, see this article in &quot;The Record North Shore.&quot;</a>
