Karen Gordon teaches her first kindergarten class of the school year over Zoom from her empty classroom at Northwood Elementary School in Anchorage on Aug. 25, 2020.
“When we’ve talked with schools and teachers, they said that first graders came in this year almost at the same place the kindergartners did,” said Dianne Orr, director of K-12 English language arts in the teaching and learning department at the school district. “I think they’ve done a yeoman’s job at bringing this group along,” Akes said. “But we’ve been really putting a lot of emphasis on — are they moving forward? And if not, what do we need to do?”
Kids who aren’t reading by the time they finish third grade are four times more likely to drop out of school by high school, he said.
