Recent 2024 NAEP Scores

The latest NAEP data is more than a wake-up call—it’s an urgent demand for action. Reading scores have declined, and the need for effective, research-based solutions has never been greater. This is not just a challenge for educators; it’s a collective responsibility. Families, teachers, and communities must come together to ensure every student has access to the resources they need to succeed.

Read our statement to learn more about how ReadWorks is committed to being part of the solution.
