On kids and reading, William Bennett shares 'incredible literacy success' in Montgomery, Alabama
Fox News
Fox News Digital spoke with former Education Secretary William Bennett, who shared a student literacy success story at a primary school in Montgomery, Alabama.
"When we find an example that jumps out for not just bucking the trend but for blowing the doors off it — we must understand what is driving that." "Her enthusiasm and willpower for these children to succeed is amazing — just like the name of her school." "This is an incredible literacy success story — and it is happening with the most challenging populations." "The costs of students not achieving literacy by third grade are very well known." Maureen Mackey is managing editor of lifestyle for Fox News Digital. Story tips can be sent on Twitter at @maurmack.
"While there is far too much of it, I believe what may be the very worst is the significant learning loss leading to precipitous drops in third-grade literacy," he also said.
Bennett said that ever since he served as Education Secretary during the Reagan administration, "I have been astonished by the consistent connection between third-grade literacy and any other measure of academic, social or economic success imaginable."
