Low income 4th grade reading scores

Looks like Louisiana and Mississippi making strides.
Alabama jumps from 49th to 27th
Louisiana from 42nd to 11th
Mississippi from 40th to 2nd.
We are a generation away from the South being the only place companies want to relocate.

The rest of the country fell off the map. Mississippi may have just stayed the same.

Reminds me of a Days of Thunder quote. I'm not going faster, the rest of the field is just slowing down. Remote learning was a disaster, and the south returned to in person sooner than the rest of the country

No. 808 is correct here.

Almost like closing schools in large portions of the country for 1-2 years was a bad idea eh?
Friends of mine that live outside of Seattle didn't send their kids to a physical school building for 18 months. They were closed for COVID and digital only the entire time. Insanity.

And Florida has dedicated reading intervention especially at low age groups. Any kids that are in the bottom 5 pct get intervention and reading group. That said, there are still a ton of kids that need serious help that don't get it. My wife is a reading intervention teacher in the state.

We destroyed kid’s learning to satisfy the woke among us. Those kids are going to face long-term effects. They might never fully recover from it.

So the core of states that have conservatives running things and didn't close their schools for 1 to 2 years performed better and made up ground?
Whodathunkit? It's almost like pragmatic people warned of this happening when kids were kept out of the classroom for extended periods

These schools gotta be cheating up a fricking storm on these tests.
There's no way we REALLY jumped that much. No freaking way.

Reading scores can improve dramatically if the kids are given something that is actually fun and interesting to read.

Low income kids are mostly in cities in many states. Many city kids didn’t go to school for over a year and a half. A fourth grader could have conceivably only been in school for roughly half their schooling.
Your state jumped over the bodies of kids left behind.

bullshite. They just need to get them some phonemic awareness and get interventions to struggling kids. Learning to read is intrinsically interesting for kids.

Louisiana wasn't doing dramatically better than 30 some odd states with regard to that shite, especially in our low income city areas.

I don't think so. Feed 'em the reading equivalent of stewed spinach and they will just groan.

To be fair, they have put in place a system that works (and works well).
It is based on hard work and accountability.
Credit where it’s due.
As for Louisiana, the implementation of literacy programs at the elementary and middle school level (complete with “reading coaches”) seems to be paying off as well.

Why not both?

“Interesting texts” is usually code for “culturally relevant texts.”

Those are good strategies. They’re not groundbreaking. But they work.

Hell yeah
LFG Mississippi . That is seriously a great accomplishment for everyone involved

Thanks YA.
You guys realize the other students were learning at a higher rate and continued to do so, its not like they were standing still. For Louisiana to skyrocket past them. Tell you what you need to do. Pull the papers themselves. Guarantee you will see a dozen or so questions where EVERY child got the answer correct.....and many eraser marks on those same questions. Hmm wonder who changed them????
Same nonsense happened some years ago when they tried to pay bonuses based on merit. Even had the dumber kids tell their parents it was a teacher holiday and not to come to school on that day. Some were giving verbal tests to kids due to "visual disabilities" and then ask cup is to a) fork b) turkey or c) SAAAAUUUUUCCCCCEEERR.
Seriusly the aforementioned is what was happening in the schools.
Course now the testing center is woke as well so no one will look into it.
