10 Reasons Supplemental Literacy Solutions Strengthen Core Curriculum Instruction
Only 31% of U.S. fourth graders and 30% of eighth graders scored at or above NAEP Proficient in reading in 2024. Among twelfth graders, just 35% met the college readiness benchmark, down from 37% in 2019 (NCES, 2024; 2025). These results make one thing clear: core curricula alone are not meeting students’ literacy needs. As a result, more districts are pairing core instruction with targeted supplemental programs to drive stronger outcomes and provide better support for teachers.
