The report, entitled Alabama Campaign for Grade-Level Reading Recommendations to the Governor, was drafted by a 100-member panel appointed by Governor Ivey in 2018. The final report provides recommendations to enhance Birth to Age Eight Systems; Family Engagement; Health and Well-Being; Learning Outside the Classroom; and Special Education, English Language Learners, and Struggling Readers.
“Reaching this goal will require the collective effort of every individual in all 67 of Alabama’s counties,” said Governor Ivey in a news release announcing the Campaign’s final report. “Your local grassroot efforts to reach our most challenged students in Alabama’s classrooms will directly, positively impact literacy proficiency. We are all made whole when the least among us are provided equitable educational opportunities allowing us to thrive academically.”
