Books aren’t heavy, but reading builds muscles

Reading skills in Indiana students have been declining for many years with a sharp drop during the COVID-19 pandemic. Last year, the state heard wonderful news last year; the results of the 2024-25 third grade IREAD scores showed their largest ever increase — up 5% to an overall pass rate of 87%. Reading scores returned to pre-pandemic levels (equal to 2018-19), a welcome improvement after legal changes focused educators on the science of reading to support young readers. IREAD scores improved for the 2025-26 year by a smaller amount, with under 89% of third graders passing the exam.
