Children CANNOT Read Anymore and Its Getting Worse - Dr. Jennifer Herring

In today’s episode of the Covered Podcast, we discuss the topic of literacy with Dr. Jennifer Herring, the Executive Director of the Worcester Education Collaborative. Literacy is more than just reading words; it's about comprehension and the ability to engage in academic discourse. With alarming statistics showing that two-thirds of U.S. fourth graders are not proficient readers, this conversation sheds light on the urgent need for improved literacy education, especially in underserved communities.
