Improving Early Literacy Across North Carolina
About 60 percent of fourth graders in North Carolina have achieved reading proficiency. Through several initiatives, we are working to ensure every child reaches grade-level proficiency.
As a research-driven college grounded in its land-grant mission, the NC State College of Education works to solve North Carolina’s most pressing educational challenges, including improving early reading proficiency. Here’s a look at how we are doing that.
