Learning to read is at the heart of education, but only one-third of students in the U.S. read at grade level. Being able to read on grade level by third grade is a strong predictor of future student success. Research proves a link between failure to reach this milestone and higher rates of high school dropout, severely limiting opportunities for success. Statistically, students of color, especially Black and Hispanic/Latine students, are less likely to reach this proficiency milestone. Reading proficiency is not just an education issue, it’s an equity in education imperative.
