New York's educational landscape reveals a critical struggle in literacy, with only 31% of fourth graders reading at grade level, especially among economically disadvantaged students. This problem, heightened by the COVID-19 pandemic, calls for urgent action. High-impact tutoring has emerged as a significant and effective strategy, showing increases in student learning by up to 15 months. Advocates urge New York lawmakers to allocate funds for this approach, proposing bills to create statewide pilot programs targeting underserved communities impacted by educational disruption, aiming to bridge the widening academic gap.
It's time for New York to center this proven intervention in its strategy to close academic gaps, accelerate student progress, and ensure all children have a fair shot at success.
Research shows that high-impact tutoringâintensive, relationship-based, small-group or one-on-one instruction aligned with classroom learningâis the most effective approach to helping students catch up to grade level.
