Ready by Grade Three
The American Prospect recently published a 22-page special report on early childhood literacy entitled “Reading by Grade Three.” It is an in-depth examination of the challenges policymakers, advocates, parents, and teachers face in ensuring that every young child in the U.S. has access to the essential resources for achieving literacy. The report focuses on the following goals:
- developing results-oriented and innovative solutions;
- targeted support for underserved, poor and minority students; and
- building systems that engage parents and teachers.
