Probably because are having two hour blocks of English/Language Arts/Reading everyday as opposed to the traditional one hour class. This is because of the devastating damage to our kids when we made them stay at home for school for most of a school year. Scores plummeted after that.

They used to make them take two hours blocks of math too but I guess those scores finally improved enough to drop it back to one hour this year.

Schools were doubling blocking ELA for many years before COVID.

Our schools double block ELA and Math through 6th grade, then double block ELA and single block Math for 7th and 8th grade.

Then, in high school, we use a 4 class a day / change at semester schedule. We do a full year of math and a full year of ELA in years where there is a state test.

They've been double blocking ELA and Math in Primary schools (k-8) since 2012, in Louisiana at least .
