Indiana Sees Historic Gains in Third Grade Literacy Rates

This week, the State Board of Education announced that the 2024-2025 IREAD assessment scores show an impressive 5% increase in literacy rates for third graders across the state.

At 87.3% of third graders now proficient in foundational reading skills, an increase of 6,000 more students than last year, we have now returned to pre-pandemic reading levels. Further, the 5% increase is one of the largest increases in reading proficiency in many years.

I want to take a moment to recognize our teachers whose hard work made these incredible scores possible. Their work fosters a bright future for Hoosier students.

The Science of Reading curriculum and financial investments in literacy initiatives have proven to be a wise investment of resources and shows the hard work we have done to make Indiana one of the best states for education is paying off.
