With the recent dip in reading scores, some were worried new literacy initiatives in NYC weren't working. But as Primo Lasana the executive director of Reading Partners New York City says in this NYN Media article, "When we look at other states like Mississippi that have overhauled their reading instruction, they initially saw declines before seeing significant improvement. It's our expectation that the same thing will happen in New York.” Read more about how Reading Partners and other literacy nonprofits are hopeful that the shift to curriculums based on the science of reading will result in improved scores among NYC's elementary students. https://lnkd.in/gqWYFRKJ
