It's way more comprehensive than just phonics: - Mandatory screening of students in grades K-3, three times a year, using approved assessment tools, to monitor how early reading skills are developing - Focused efforts to improve curriculum quality in schools— for phonics and other aspects of literacy - Large-scale efforts to train teachers - Retention policies to hold back students who aren’t reading successfully by the end of third grade Lifted directly from https://www.theargumentmag.com/p/is-mississippi-cooking-the-... It's also worth saying a lot of the gains evaporate when you factor in learning loss from COVID and Mississippi suddenly screening/helping kids for dyslexia (etc). But, still there's something to learn, just not simply phonics. |
