About this listen
Early literacy is one of the strongest indicators of lifelong health and success – yet reading scores across the U.S. are declining at an alarming rate. In part one of this two-part series, we dive into what the latest data reveals, how the COVID-19 pandemic has intensified the literacy crisis, and what actions educators and health care providers can take to reverse these trends.
Celebrating its 20th anniversary, Nemours Children’s Reading BrightStart! continues its mission to help every child become a successful reader through early literacy curricula, educator training and family resources for children from birth to first grade.
