Non-profit Advocates for Children says the New York City school system has 'failed' children, with less than 47% of all third through eighth graders, and only 36% of Black and Hispanic students, scoring proficient in reading on 2019 state tests.
from a non-profit group says the New York City Department of Education must urgently revamp literacy instruction across the public school system.
The report comes as Mayor Eric Adams' administration has pledged to prioritize an overhaul of literacy instruction. As part of his budget, Adams is proposingfor universal literacy screening and the creation of new public schools designed to support students with reading disabilities. Adams has repeatedly invoked his personal struggles with dyslexia, which went undiagnosed until college.
For example, Banks has said he wants to see schools drop a popular curriculum from Teachers College that critics say under-emphasizes phonics and can teach students bad habits. While some students are able to pick up the fundamentals of reading more easily than others, “all students, and especially those with learning disabilities, benefit from direct instruction in letter sound relationships,” the report said.
