It's a pretty big deal when 4th grade reading scores get brought up in a White House briefing. No matter where you stand politically, we should all be angry about this.

40% of U.S. 4th-graders scored BELOW Basic Level on the 2024 NAEP test for Reading.

We're busy writing middle school books. What topics for fiction and non-fiction would you suggest we include?

@YoukiTerada @edutopia We love the positive way that @edutopia explains Dyslexia!

A child with dyslexia may read slowly but still be a lightning-fast, creative thinker. Just wrapped up an @edutopia video where we cover groundbreaking research showing that IQ and dyslexia aren’t linked. Plus, tips to support students w/ dyslexia.

Teachers, what strategies have you found effective for motivating your students to spend more time reading?

Reading charts like this make us angry. We often talk about “almost half of kids failing in reading,” but the truth is worse. In Georgia, 73% of Black & Hispanic 3rd graders are failing readers!

Many others are dedicating their time and money to this cause as well, and I’m hopeful that these charts will look vastly different in 5 years.

Unfortunately, there isn't one clear answer to this problem. We're doing our part to solve this by building an innovative technology that is research-based and aimed at motivating every student - regardless of their zip code or background.

Teachers have limited time and resources, and way too much paperwork. It’s no wonder that so many teachers are switching to other careers. They are highly-educated, dedicated, creative leaders who are constantly undermined and disrespected.

In our fight to create fair and equal opportunities, we need to start with the basics. Children who don’t learn to read will always struggle economically and socially. Their future outcomes are heavily influenced by what happens in their early school years.

There are many smart people in this country - building amazing new technologies. We can get rockets up into space. We’re finding amazing new ways to use AI to solve huge problems. But none of that really matters if we can’t teach children to read.

Some kids need help getting motivated to read. So, we run weekly challenges and send the winners prizes in the mail. Unsurprisingly, QuestRead increases reading time by 4 times the average. Try free for 2 weeks.

Each year, for the past 16 years, the amount of time children spend reading drops by 4%.

To reverse this trend, we need to get creative.

We can't keep telling parents to just take their kids to the library and expect that to solve the problem.
