EDUCATION
School absences impact communities
Over the last few years, a marked transformation has occurred in education. Long-standing research on how to best teach children to read was acknowledged. School districts around the country embraced the "science of reading" – an interdisciplinary body of knowledge about reading and writing. Thankfully, our local districts have begun to make this long-overdue change. Springfield District 186, for example, will roll out a new K-8 classroom literacy curriculum plus an evidence-based intervention curriculum. The future of literacy looks bright.
