Teaching children to read

In what experts have dubbed the “Mississippi Miracle,” the Magnolia State has gone from 49th in the nation in fourth grade reading in 2013 to ninth in 2024, according to the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), also known as “the nation’s report card.” According to the Urban Institute, “Adjusted for demographics and poverty, Mississippi fourth graders ranked first nationally in reading and math” in 2024.

Republican lawmakers passed the Literacy-Based Promotion Act. That legislation rejected the progressive dogmas that have crippled schools in blue states and returned to the fundamentals of phonics-based instruction, serious teacher training, literacy coaches in struggling schools, early intervention, and real accountability for results.
