What are the chances of such great damage occurring in such a brief amount of time? The chances are rather high when you that a closer look at the impact that the pandemic has had on students’ reading performance in the US. In just two blink-fast years, compromises had to be made for student safety which left many in grades K–5 to a substandard educational experience.
The Numbers Don’t Lie
The truth is that students need help. Teachers need help. The education system needs help. During the time spent removed from classrooms, students and teachers alike were faced with disrupted learning difficulties.
Multiple studies were conducted in schools that surveyed teachers on returning student performance.
Comparatively, the performance of grade 1 students saw as much as a ten percent decrease in overall academic performance when put against the 2019-2020 school year. Students in other grade levels also saw a similar decline.
Teachers are struggling to catch their students back up with many asserting that it could take years of remediation to return grade-level standards to their former glory. What choice do teachers have?
