Why children can’t read — and what we can do about it | LIVE STREAM

Описание: Early reading proficiency is a crucial predictor of school, work, and life success. A deeply flawed idea about how to teach reading is widening early inequalities, setting millions of children up to fail.

Children who do not read proficiently by third grade are four times more likely to drop out of high school. Yet, in 2019, just one-third of US fourth graders were proficient in reading. Roughly half of both lower-income and black fourth graders could not even read at a basic level.

Join AEI to hear award-winning journalist Emily Hanford of APM Reports explain her groundbreaking work revealing how schools are not teaching children how to read. A panel of experts will then discuss how to build strong literacy skills for all children, beginning at birth. Here is the link to Emily Hanford's presentation video, with clean audio.    • Words or Pictures?
