Statewide results for fall 2021 Idaho Reading Indicator show improvement

(BOISE) – Statewide results of Idaho’s early reading test, the Idaho Reading Indicator, show 51 percent of the state’s students in kindergarten through third grade are reading at grade level, up from 49.6 percent last fall, Superintendent of Public Instruction Sherri Ybarra said Monday.

“The final results are encouraging, especially in grades 1 through 3, where children are continuing their education,” Superintendent Ybarra said. “The percentage of students at grade level this fall increased from each grade (K, 1, 2,3) to the next, and the percentage below grade level declined.”
