Reading scores plummeted during the pandemic, but not all states are struggling. Harvard, Stanford, and Dartmouth found that only five states plus D.C. saw gains from 2022 to 2025. Math scores climbed in nearly every state, and attendance improved too. Places like Modesto, California, and Detroit are bucking the trend with innovative methods. Experts suggest science-of-reading methods, dyslexia screening, and teacher coaches as keys to success. With the right moves, schools can turn this around and build stronger readers for the future.
