Friday, September 2, 2022

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --The Education world was stunned by the results of the recent National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) showing the largest decline in student reading performance in 30 years. Considered the gold standard in tracking student progress, the NAEP provides solid, standardized data on what many teachers already knew: the pandemic wiped out decades of educational improvement, with the students most at-risk suffering the greatest losses. Against this background, early childhood learning leader, Learning Without Tears, launched Phonics, Reading, and Me™, a breakthrough supplemental phonics program that allows K-3 teachers to identify precise student shortfalls in the literacy skills needed to become proficient and effective readers.  

Key Points: 
  • "As a result of the pandemic, student reading performance suffered the largest decline in 30 years.
  • It is imperative that the drop in reading skills be addressed effectively.
  • Phonics is important in the development of foundational reading skills and now, with Phonics, Reading, and Me, teachers can more easily reach more students with individualized instruction."
  • This use of technology means teachers can reach more students with a greater focus on individual student progress and personalized instruction.
