Reading The Nation's Report Card
Why has progress stalled in 4th grade reading and what will it take to improve achievement? Join the Campaign for Grade-Level Reading for a Webinar Nov. 10, 2011
3-4 p.m. EST.
As a nation we have invested significant energy, research, and resources into early literacy, recognizing that children who read well by the end of 3rd grade are far more likely to succeed later in school and in life. Yet new results from the National Assessment of Educational Progress show a flat line in 4th grade reading achievement in recent years. Join us for this webinar digging deeper into the data. Learn what research says about the importance of early reading, and what experts see as the persistent challenges to improving results.
Panelists:
Jack Buckley, Commissioner, National Center for Education Statistics
Jack Jennings, President and CEO, Center on Education Policy
Donald J. Hernandez, Professor and Researcher, Hunter College, City University of New York
Moderator: Doris Hicks, Board Member, National Assessment Governing Board, Principal and CEO of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Charter School for Science and Technology in New Orleans
