After being released last week, the NAEP report, known as the Nation's Report Card, showed significant declines in math and reading scores since its last administration in 2019. While there is ongoing debate about the cause of the plummeting scores, one thing is clear: children have a lot of catching up to do.
The one-on-one structure of the Book Buddies program makes it particularly apt at supporting students with their specific reading needs. Last year, 84% of all Book Buddies read proficiently by the end of tutoring. This year, the program is up and running at 12 of Alexandria's elementary schools! We know we can help the children we serve mitigate and overcome learning loss.
