It's time to get kids reading again!

“According to the asseassment, the average reading scores for 13-year-olds declined by four points and nine points in mathematics compared to NAEP's previous assessment during the 2019-2020 school year.”


“Only 14% of students reported reading for fun almost daily, a decrease of 3% lower than in 2020 and 13% lower than in 2012. The year 2023 recorded the lowest percentage of students who reported that they read for fun almost every day than all previous assessment years. In 1984, 35% of students reported reading for fun almost daily.” 


It’s time to get our kids reading again. Kids report reading one of these books is like “being” in an exciting movie. So turn off those electronic devices and find them a good book that will hold their attention and interest.Here’s a great place to start: https://middlegradeadventureandmystery.blogspot.com/
