Every child deserves to read proficiently by third grade—not because they’re failing, but because unequal access to quality teaching and resources is holding them back. In Newark, the gap between thriving and struggling schools is stark—and unacceptable. The NAACP’s plan calls for universal screenings, personalized support, proven teaching methods, teacher training, and transparent, race-conscious reporting. Parents shouldn’t need expertise to know if their child’s school is working. Interventions must start in preschool. This isn’t just about reading—it’s about leveling the playing field so every child, no matter where they live, has the tools to succeed.
