A new paper finds “substantial gap persists” between reading comprehension research and practice, calls for greater efforts to prioritize effective instruction methods
As chronic absenteeism slows the pace of academic recovery after the pandemic, especially in poorer school districts, and achievement gaps widen, researchers urge states and districts to recommit to effective interventions, and for leaders outside schools and employers to help confront the problem
Although no state improved in both math and reading on the NAEP, the Education Recovery Scorecard highlights the work of over 100 districts performing above pre-pandemic levels in both math and reading

Despite setbacks on standardized tests, report card grades have remained stable, and polling indicates most parents believe their children are on track."
