Mississippi's reading scores have skyrocketed thanks to science-based reforms: phonics-focused instruction, teacher training, literacy coaches, and strong accountability like third-grade retention. From near the bottom in 2013 to top-tier on NAEP by 2024—proof that evidence-based changes work! New Jersey educators and policymakers: Time to follow suit and boost our... show more

Mississippi went from having the 2nd worst ranked reading scores in the entire country to almost the best Here’s how “How did America's poorest state Mississippi go from being ranked 49th in the nation for reading in 2013 to 9th in 2024 while spending just $32 per student? In 2013, Mississippi passed the Literacy based Promotion Act and started investing in the building blocks of education, systematically phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and reading comprehension. They based their approach on research by IES, which showed kids need explicit, carefully sequenced phonics instruction, teaching the relationship between letters and sounds, not just guessing words from pictures and context clues. Mississippi also focused on training K-three teachers and put literacy coaches in struggling schools. They even started to hold back third graders who couldn't read proficiently, paired with intensive support to catch up. The results speak for themselves. Between 2013 and 2024, reading scores declined by more than 10 points in nearly every state except Mississippi, the only one that improved.”

Today, Michigan is 48th in the country in 4th grade reading. Meanwhile Mississippi has gone from one of the worst to one of the best states for literacy because they embraced a phonics based approach. Let’s get back to the basics, quit teaching DEI, and start teaching ABCs again. The future of our kids and our state depends on it!

Mississippi and Alabama schools have recently shown significant improvements in educational performance, with Mississippi rising from 49th to a top 10 state in fourth-grade reading levels. These states have implemented effective reforms, such as early literacy laws and strict disciplinary policies, contributing to their academic success despite lower spending compared to other states. These developments highlight a shift in educational success in the South, with Mississippi and Alabama leading the way in innovative reforms and improved student results. Mississippi and Alabama improved school performance through reforms such as early literacy laws requiring phonics, stricter retention and promotion policies, universal literacy screeners, and rigorous curricula. Additionally, both states implemented strict disciplinary policies to maintain order in classrooms, which contributed to better learning environments.

🚨Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on President Trump's EO slashing the Department of Education: “The Department of Education was founded in the 1970s, and since then, we have spent more than $3 trillion on this federal bureaucracy. What has been the return on that investment for the American taxpayer? Levels that are less than ideal — less than proficient. Our children’s test scores are incredibly concerning when it comes to reading rates, literacy rates, math, and science test scores. The numbers prove that. This president is finally taking much-needed action to return education to where it belongs — to educators closest to students, in their classrooms, in their respective states.”

Mississippi went from 49th to 9th in their reading scores - known as the “Mississippi Miracle.” Tennessee, Louisiana, and Alabama adopted the same (phonics) model and are seeing similar gains for their kids. It works. What are we waiting for? We need the courage to stand by our kids. China is not holding back America’s kids. That’s on all of us. It’s time to put American children first.

🧵 Gavin Newsom’s Literacy “Success” Is a Sham—California’s Kids Are Still Failing, and He’s to Blame Today, Gavin Newsom stood before cameras and tried to sell us a fairy tale. In a press conference dripping with self-congratulation, he boasted that from 2011 to 2022, “our eighth-grade reading scores achieved the fastest growth of any state in the nation,” and that “during that time, fourth-grade reading scores were the third best in the nation.” Then, in a rare moment of honesty, he let the mask slip: “Gaps persist because, frankly, we had such a low bar.” Watch the video yourself—those are his words. What Newsom won’t say outright, what he hopes you’ll miss in the glow of his polished PR spin, is the ugly truth: despite this so-called “growth,” California remains one of the most illiterate states in the country. After over six years of his governorship, our kids are still drowning in an education system that’s a national embarrassment—and he’s got the gall to call it progress. Let’s strip away the rhetoric and face the facts. California’s literacy crisis isn’t just bad—it’s catastrophic. According to the latest 2024 data from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP)—the gold standard for measuring student performance—California ranks 47th out of 50 states in fourth-grade reading proficiency. Only 34% of our fourth graders can read at or above a proficient level. For eighth graders, it’s even bleaker: we’re 45th in the nation, with a measly 29% hitting proficiency. This isn’t “growth” to celebrate; it’s a disaster unfolding in slow motion. Six years into Newsom’s tenure, and we’re still scraping the bottom of the barrel. Mississippi—yes, Mississippi—is outpacing us, ranking in the top 10 for fourth-grade reading. Meanwhile, California’s kids can’t even crack the top 40. How’s that for a “low bar”? Newsom wants you to applaud his cherry-picked stat about “the fastest growth” in eighth-grade reading scores from 2011 to 2022. But let’s be real: that 11-year window is meaningless without context. California started so far behind that any uptick looks big on paper—it’s like bragging about climbing three feet up a ditch while everyone else is scaling mountains. And here’s the kicker: that period includes the COVID-19 pandemic, which hit every state hard. California, though, lagged behind the pack in recovery. While other states reopened schools and got kids back to learning, Newsom kept ours shuttered longer than most—prolonging the damage. Nationally, reading scores dipped during COVID, yet many states bounced back stronger. California? We’re still floundering near the bottom. Touting “growth” when we’re 45th and 47th in the nation isn’t a flex—it’s a confession of failure. And then there’s the money. Oh, the money. California pours a jaw-dropping amount into education—nearly $25,000 per student in Newsom’s proposed 2025-26 budget, one of the highest per-pupil spending rates in the country. Since 2013, we’ve doubled our per-pupil spending from $9,300 to $18,600, according to the California Department of Education. That’s billions upon billions of taxpayer dollars. So why are our kids still illiterate? Compare us to Mississippi again: they’ve boosted spending by 54% to $12,500 per student since 2013 and skyrocketed their reading scores. California doubled its investment and lost ground. Where’s all that cash going? Not to the classroom, that’s for damn sure. It’s swallowed by a bloated bureaucracy, unfunded pension debts, and shiny pet projects that sound good in press releases but do squat for actual learning. Newsom loves to tout universal free lunches and early reading screenings, but those are crumbs when the whole system’s rotten. (1/2)

Dr. Tracy Høeg (Tracy Beth Høeg, MD, PhD) tells Congress that the highest quality scientific evidence has consistently shown that masks do not work, school closures were not necessary, and six feet of distancing was not based on science: "We've had evidence prior to the pandemic that masks were largely ineffective at preventing community transmission of influenza and other upper respiratory viruses, and we did not obtain any new high-quality evidence during COVID-19 that masks are an effective mitigation strategy. We have several confounded observational studies, many of which were actually published by the CDC, that have severe flaws in them, that unfortunately led people to believe that masking children was going to be effective and necessary to keep children in schools. But the highest quality data we have, for example, from a Cochrane review of randomized studies, has not found evidence that masks are effective. It wasn't science-based, and the six feet of distance was arbitrary... We should have by default kept our schools open, but instead, we required non-evidence-based mitigation strategies as a prerequisite for getting our children back into school."

America’s schools are alienating children, leaving them feeling out of place, because the government-run education system has failed to prioritize the proper credentialing and practical training of teachers since at least 1993 ( Evidence-based instruction methods exist to ensure all students—including those with learning challenges like dyslexia—can read at grade-level proficiency by the end of third grade, yet these are not consistently implemented system-wide. What the Democrats and the educator unions have done to our children—the future of America—is reprehensible. Without President Trump winning the 2024 election, they were on the track to inheriting a deeply flawed and troubling legacy of soaring national debt and widespread illiteracy.

Ontario's schools need more adults. We need more EAs and more educators in our schools to keep students safe and help them learn. Children in Grade 6 were in Kindergarten when the Ford government took office. EQAO scores are on their watch, and this government is failing our kids. That is why Ontario-Liberals are calling on the Ford government to invest $1 billion in new education funding so boards can hire the staff students rely on every day. Students should not have to pay the price for underfunding. It is time to give them the support they deserve.

“Whole word” reading teaches kids to read by relying on crutches, like context and pictures By contrast, phonics is is best taught by eliminating all possible shortcuts and isolating the skill of decoding for focused training This 3yo (almost 4) is looking for the word “big” mixed in among distractors like: bgi, blg, gib This ensures he’s not just guessing at words by their first letter, or whether they have the right letters in the wrong order. He has to sound the word out from left or right, building his decoding skills and setting him on the path to becoming a fluent reader

one of my favorite aspects of this new work is that it is generative, not based on an arbitrary random number, but based on the chaos of real life. the physical sculpture is constantly pulling in news and real-time data from all over the world and the NFT is updated daily as well with this hectic collage of information overload... i believe in the future more work will be dynamic like this allowing us to reimagine real-time data in new ways based on different events happening in the world...

Karoline Leavitt just put on another masterclass in front of the media. Reporter: "What do you say to critics of the President's education plan?" Leavitt: "Where was their criticism of our nation's failing test scores for the last several decades? The Department of Education was founded in the 1970s, and since then, we have spent more than $3 trillion at this federal bureaucracy. What has been the return on that investment for the American taxpayer? Levels that are less than ideal, less than proficient. Our children's test scores are incredibly concerning when it comes to reading rates, literacy rates, math and science test scores. The numbers prove that." SHUT IT DOWN, Mr. President.

Anybody who knows me knows how passionate I am about education. My dad was a pediatrician and I was on track to become an early childhood educator. We have a national education crisis in America. Both parties have gotten sidetracked on the education metrics that matter by engaging in culture wars – whether it be bathroom access or what topics we can teach in schools. We need to nationalize the 'Mississippi Miracle' and 'Alabama on Math' models to improve our kids’ reading and math scores. I refer to this as TART: ✅Technology (to make kids ready for AI disruptions) ✅Attendance (to tackle the significant absentee rate post-COVID) ✅Reading (using the Mississippi Miracle doctrine) ✅Truth (to ensure parents know their kids' progress based on national standards) I spoke with Megyn Kelly about where we have gone wrong in education and what we can do to fix it.

8.5 million people in the UK struggle with basic reading and writing. This hits our poorest communities the hardest and traps too many people in a relentless cycle of economic exlusion. That’s why this morning I spoke on Jeremy Vine about redirecting funding from ESOL towards improving literacy for people in Lincolnshire. The current system isn’t working as it should. It’s time to rethink how we support people in Lincolnshire on improving their literacy. I’m creating a new approach that delivers better results, focuses on practical English language skills, and makes sure taxpayers can see the difference their money is making in their communities.

GM. #NoStrollers parenting has been the focus of this page and will remain so but going forward I will be adding several other parenting foci that have had profoundly positive and important impacts on my children and family. 1. *Socratic dialogue*. Thanks to Michael Strong Michael Strong for showing the way here and helping our family wield this proven, powerful, free educational (and relationship building) too. Shout out to Socrates, too. I will be sharing clips and links to the YouTube page that Michael and my now 12 year old daughter have been building since Alana was 3.5 demonstrating the what, why, how, and IMPACT of Socratic dialogue. Here is the Michael-Alana YT, and a recent representative clip is attached. 2. *Early Childhood Literacy*. If you are unaware, literacy levels in the USA are deplorable. The 'reading gap' is an active tragedy mentally crippling more than half of the young people in America. As a parent to be I was determined my child would be a a strong and early reader. Drawing upon my time as a volunteer reading tutor to 4th and 5th graders (!!) In San Diego, I composed alternate lyrics to the ABC song about how to read (the mechanics of reading), dubbed 'The Secind Verse to the ABCs.' My wife and I sang this verse to our children as often or more than any other kids song. We sincerely believe the 'Second Verse' strongly contributed to our children reading and comprehending chapter books by age 4. Reading well at a young age opened the world for them, as it did for me as a child. Almost nothing matters more than fostering a love of learning and strong reading skills at a young age. I hope you will sing and widely share the Second Verse. A few years ago I published a children's book of the same title featuring child-led Socratic dialogue to teach reading, and I will be sharing that as well (foreword by Mark Victor Hansen -- ty again Sir -- and afterword by Michael Strong). A soft cover version is available on Amazon and I have a couple hundred original hardcovers available too (DM me if interested). In the meantime, teach and sing the Second Verse to children! 3. *Healthy Kids Food". We raised children whose default is enjoy healthy foods including liver and sardines. I'll be sharing some of what worked for us. And yes I am anti-goldfish. Finally, don't forget that strollers (and mental strollers aka tablets) are suboptimal and deprive children of an enormous amount of invaluable time in the stream of life. Abandon them! Thank you for your interest and I hope you will share this post. Aloha. #homeschool #ParentingTips #parenting #socratic #socraticdialogue #newborn #toddlers #readingcommunity #literacy #kindergarten

Now, this comes to when we just explained after reading the first half of the letter that the only reason that remains logically plausible on the strength of the evidence as to why this delay, that has remained unexplained by omission by the coroner, as to why this delay occurred, the only logical reason is that the strength of the evidence yesterday of Dr. Kevin Corbett was such that it meant, and it was so strong in terms of its implications, that it meant the coroner and counsel for the Royal Trinity Hospice, barrister Wright-Kluger, needed time to digest the implications of Dr. Corbett's evidence. And Wright-Kluger may have needed extra time to prepare a proper defense for the Royal Trinity Hospice, because Dr. Corbett's evidence was damning. And we're going to come to that evidence from our notes, live notes that we published yesterday, and show you exactly what was so damning about it." Maajid Nawaz for WARRIOR CREED

As the school year comes to a close, a new analysis shines a harsh spotlight on what's being called a "learning recession" among American students. It's a problem that started long before the pandemic, according to the latest National Education Scorecard — an annual deep dive into data about kids in grades K-12. The findings of this report are sobering. Children had a steady decline in math and reading scores beginning all the way back to 2013, which happens to be when smartphones and social media really took off. Compared to a decade ago, math scores today are down in 70% of school districts. Reading scores are down in 83%. Scores have climbed a bit since 2022, but nowhere close to making up all the lost ground. In fact, 8th grade reading scores are now at their lowest level since 1990. William Brangham recently spoke with Thomas Kane, one of the authors of the scorecard and a professor at Harvard University.
