Where We Stand
The following literacy leadership briefs from ILA are now
available at literacyworldwide.org/statements:
Released in August, Exploring the 2017 NAEP Reading
Results: Systemic Reforms Beat Simplistic Solutions,
unpacks the 2017 reading scores released by the
National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP)
earlier this year and discusses systemic approaches to
improving reading comprehension.
Beyond the Numbers: Using Data for Instructional
Decision Making, published in October, discusses
how data can provide insights into student learning by
acting as a portrait, a highlighter, and a springboard.
ILA’s Children’s Rights to Read—a list of
10 fundamental rights ILA asserts every
child deserves—can now be downloaded
in all six of the official United Nations
languages: Arabic, Chinese, English,
French, Russian, and Spanish. In addition,
versions in Japanese and Maori are also
available.
