North Carolina Students Excel in Reading Benchmarks
Special to Iredell Free News
Raleigh — North Carolina’s kindergarten through third-grade students continue to outperform the nation on reading benchmarks, based on the newly released middle-of-year data.
Improvements in Reading Skills
New data presented to the N.C. State Board of Education shows that elementary school students improved their reading skills from the beginning to middle-of-year reading assessment for the 2023-2024 school year. There have been steady improvements in elementary students’ reading proficiency since the Excellent Public Schools Act, which called for all K-5 literacy educators to be trained in the science of reading, was signed into law in April 2021.
Outpacing National Performance
Based on middle-of-year testing data, North Carolina kindergarten through third-grade students outpaced their peers on a national level. North Carolina kindergarteners improved by 22 percent from the beginning- to middle-of-year assessment while nationally the same age group improved by 13 percent.
