"Breaking Down Silos: A New Blueprint for Early Literacy Success" A new report from the Center for American Progress is shedding light on the critical connection between early childhood education and K-12 systems in the quest to boost early literacy rates. Despite the best efforts of educators and policymakers, many students continue to struggle with reading proficiency, a skill that sets the stage for future academic success and lifelong opportunities. By examining best practices from around the country, this report identifies key strategies for aligning early childhood and K-12 systems to support young learners and set them up for reading success from the very start. By bridging the gap between these two critical stages of education, educators and policymakers can help ensure that every child has the foundation they need to thrive in school and beyond.
