Thanks for this microessay! I started working as an elementary school librarian this year and love it. This is a topic we often discuss. The librarian's job isn't to raise reading scores but to raise readers. Healthy democracies depend on insatiable literary appetites.
Hi Camille! I bet you are an amazing school librarian. Yes, the goal isn't reading scores but kids able to read well, navigate the world, stay curious, and contribute!
I’m a PreK teacher, I had seen the articles in regards to reading scores. I’m curious if they are using the same testing measures that they did previous to the pandemic. I know in our school district children are expecting to k is a tremendous amount more going into Kindergarten and first grade than they were previously expected to know. Many districts are expecting them to be at levels that are not developmentally appropriate to their age.
