| Abstract: | The 2024 National Assessment of Educational Progress revealed a decline in reading scores among U.S. students, with only 31% of fourth graders and 30% of eighth graders performing at or above proficient levels. Policymakers and educators have been implementing evidence-based reading instruction methods, particularly structured literacy approaches rooted in the science of reading, to address this literacy crisis exacerbated by factors like socioeconomic disparities and the pandemic. Special fonts like Dyslexie and OpenDyslexic have been developed to assist struggling readers, with some controversy over their efficacy, while large-print books have shown positive impacts on students' reading skills and engagement.
