The results of the nation report show the drop in reading skills, little improvement in mathematics

Washington (TNND) – Difficulty students have just published their worst reading scores in more than 30 years. The results of what is called the “Nation Bulletin” was published on Wednesday, showing that students are more late in reading.

Nicole Bradford, a former educator for over twenty years tells us, he is worrying to see the results of the last national assessment of educational progress.

This shows us that what we are doing currently does not work, so we have to go back to the basics, “said Bradford.

Given every two years, the exam was administered at the beginning of 2024, testing students from the fourth and eighth year in each state in mathematics and reading. The results have shown that students are still lagging behind in the pre-countryic levels.

“By going through Cavid, when everyone experienced this, we all try to understand what works best for students,” said Bradford.

Bulletin data show that reading scores have been specifically decreasing for years. The fourth year scores went from 220 in 2019 to 215 in 2024 and the eighth year scores went from 263 to 258 in the same period of time.

“It’s very worrying because it will certainly have an impact on everyone in the United States,” said Bradford.

Patricia Edwards, professor at Michigan State’s College of Education, believes that, in order to put things on the right track, more parental commitment will be necessary.

“They are the first teachers of children and the teacher is the second teacher and literacy begins at home,” said Edwards.

Edwards says in particular for young students, such as those who receive this examination, who are still in their years of training,

“The teachers teach 1 in 25 and the parents teach 1 in 1 and if you ask the average parent how their child learns the best, they will say 1 in 1,” said Edwards.

The American Department of Education says that the results are “heartbreaking” and reflect an education system that fails students despite billions of dollars in annual funding and billion spent for federal assistance of the pandemic.
