Inside the Shocking Literacy Crisis: Why US Teachers Are Sounding the Alarm Like Never Before
Hannah Schmid, a policy analyst at the Illinois Policy Institute, suggests, “More explicit action is needed to address the low rates of reading in Illinois public schools, such as more frequent assessments of early grade literacy, notice to parents when their students are identified as falling behind and interventions aligned with evidence-based literacy instruction.”
She explains that by implementing these practices, some states have already had positive results. “States such as Mississippi, Florida and Colorado have already paved the way in implementing these reforms, and all ranked above the national average in 2024.”
Parents should also get involved to help the literacy crisis. By instilling the skill and value of reading in their kids, they lay a strong foundation for their future learning that hopefully helps to combat rising levels of illiteracy.
