This story, from The Great Divide, is based on months of reporting that took Naomi Martin and I across the state. Children in our urban, suburban and rural communities are all struggling. Children like 14-year-old Andrew Boucher in tiny North Brookfield. 📸 by Erin Clark

Children like 11-year-old Claire Lynch in Lexington. And 9-year-old Isaac Osorio in Lowell. 📸 by Suzanne Kreiter

“I don’t think how they’re teaching kids to read is working,” said Isaac's mom. Indeed, we found nearly half of all non-charter districts in Mass. last year used a reading curriculum the state itself calls low-quality. bostonglobe.com/2023/10/04/met…

This could have been resolved a decade ago, when MA lawmakers passed a law targeting third grade reading proficiency. But little to nothing came of it. Now, as states across the U.S. pass literacy reform laws, MA is conspicuously absent. bostonglobe.com/2023/10/05/met…

The state's relative indifference comes amid some wounding comparisons. Poor children learning to read are now slightly better off going to school in Florida or Mississippi — states that got serious about early literacy years ago — than they are in Massachusetts.

Parents, meanwhile, don't always have the time, resources or wherewithal to understand what's going on in their kids' classrooms. Reading red flags: What parents need to know bostonglobe.com/2023/10/05/met…

In a new series of The Boston Globe, Mandy McLaren and Naomi Martin dig deep into what's up with literacy in Massachusetts. It's a clear examination of how the system failed. They summarize the accountability issues so well. apps.bostonglobe.com/metro/2023/10/…

Not only is it the greatest gift a school can give, but the right to read is protected under the law. Yet it’s often (too often) up to caregivers to enforce our current laws.

Caregivers, this can be really helpful in understanding whether your child is receiving evidence-based instruction.
