Episode Details

Michigan is cracking down on reading struggles by mandating that all elementary teachers teach using evidence-based methods like phonics, with full implementation by 2031-2032. Governor Whitmer’s literacy push is backed by lawmakers, with $119 million already earmarked for LETRS training—despite the law’s funding dependency. The state is also expanding pre-K, hiring literacy coaches, and supporting struggling students, as only 39% of third graders read at grade level and Michigan ranks 44th nationally in fourth-grade reading.
