💨 Abstract

The new report by Maryland READS reveals that many Maryland students struggle with reading proficiency, with 67% of fourth and eighth graders not meeting the proficiency level. Despite a 37% increase in education spending, reading proficiency rates have declined. The report suggests that technology might be a major barrier and calls for more research to understand its impact. To reach 95% reading proficiency, Maryland would take 62 years at the current pace.
