GV Wire reporter Anya Ellis talks with KMPH Fox 26 “Great Day” anchor Kim Stephens about Fresno Unified’s early literacy goal achievement.
One interim goal aimed to raise the percentage of students showing mastery in foundational literacy skills from 50.5% to 62.5% by June 2026.
The district’s kindergarten students eclipsed that expectation with 70% of them mastering skills such as recognizing letter combinations, sounds, and words.
Research shows that students who are not on track to becoming readers by the end of third grade are less likely to graduate from high school prepared for college and career.
