Mississippi reading scores make progress over last decade
SUMMARY: International Literacy Day was observed on September 8, highlighting the importance of literacy as a human right. In Mississippi, the state‘s reading scores have improved over the last decade, partially due to the Mississippi Academic Assessment. To advance from third grade to fourth grade, students must pass this assessment to ensure their reading skills are up to par. The assessment has been credited as a major factor in the improvement of reading scores. Teachers at West Lowndes Elementary School emphasize the importance of incorporating reading into all aspects of education and working together as a team to ensure students’ success. The school emphasizes reading from a young age, discussing the state test with parents years before they have to take it and providing strategies for reading at home. The school librarian also emphasizes the importance of motivation and getting students excited about reading. Although the process can be stressful, the reward of seeing students pass the test is worth it for the teachers. Throughout the school year, teachers check in with each student to address areas of struggle and provide necessary support.
