Sold a Story has a new mini-series. We found a high-poverty school district where nearly every kid can read well. They’ve been teaching the same way for 25 years. But a new law, inspired by our reporting, put that at risk. All three episodes are out now.

The San Francisco Chronicle Editorial Board is over it. This whole editorial is 🔥, and the literacy portion is nuclear. “Nearly 60% of our 3rd graders didn’t meet state standards” for ELA. “Meanwhile, poverty-stricken red states such as Mississippi, Louisiana and Alabama have surged

We turned our most recent Sold a Story episodes into a one-hour program for Reveal. You can hear it on public radio stations nationwide this weekend, and here: revealnews.org/podcast/readin…

Many schools rely on an organization called EdReports when deciding which reading programs to purchase. But there's a problem with that.

Starting this fall, CA schools must administer an annual universal screener to all K–2 students to identify children at risk for #ReadingDifficulties. The state superintendent and Dept. of Ed released a list of approved screeners, but here are THREE things you may not know...
