IREAD retention requirements emphasize need to invest in student success
With new IREAD retention requirements now in effect, the stakes around early literacy and education feel higher than ever for students, families and schools. Indiana has taken several important steps to address this issue, including expanding access to summer learning, mandating Science of Reading training for educators and investing in interventions for students in need. Briggs: Indiana's school letter grades will help housing prices more than parents That work is paying off. Through the RISE Summer Learning Program, which powers summer learning labs across more than 140 schools and learning centers, students gained 26 percentage points in ELA proficiency in just five weeks last summer. Those gains came from access to high-quality instructional materials and teachers who were deeply trained and supported. The same model should not be limited to summer. It is what students deserve year-round, before retention is ever on the table. Indiana has made real progress, but the state should continue to invest in what works for all readers, from the very start.
