The State of Black Boys' Literacy Rate According to Tyrone Howard, director of UCLA's Black Male Institute, the state of Black boys' literacy rate is influenced by multiple factors, including racial, economic, and gender gaps. Some of the factors that could limit black boys in reading include a higher likelihood of suspension and/or expulsion, leading to lost instructional time. Howard also points out that teachers often have lower expectations for Black boys. Young black boys are not given the same opportunities to participate and are often assumed to know less and be more troublesome and disruptive. He emphasizes that cultural, social, and personal relevance are all crucial if we want to help Black young boys." The state of Black boys literacy rate demands immediate attention, and PSCF is taking bold steps to address it.
