Sadly we keep on moving on . This literacy gap is responsible for the school to prison pipeline. If you can't read proficiently by end of 3rd a student is 4x likely to drop out of high school and never read fluently. Over 80% of justice involved youth are illiterate. Sadly for some this is the first time they get assessed is in Federal jail because there is a law to test for dyslexia.. (trouble with words). I think the change will come when the public demands it. Low literacy affects communities, not just students and parents.
