From @NickKristof in @nytopinion. “Among just children in poverty, Mississippi fourth graders now are tied for best performers in the nation in NAEP reading tests and rank second in math.” https://t.co/NckGrizmLN
If you’re looking for a secret ingredient to explain Mississippi’s rise in reading achievement on the Fourth Grade Reading NAEP over the last decade, you won’t find it. Some have even called that achievement “the Mississippi Miracle,” but you won’t find a miracle either.
