Those helping to implement the science of reading instruction in Utah are hopeful the state will be able to get to 70% proficiency by 2027.

Utah is one of only two states to join the Interstate Teacher Mobility Compact, which some proponents argue will help with the teacher shortage.

“I would say all teachers use their own money at some point,” said Utah Education Association President Renée Pinkney. “I know that a lot of elementary teachers, they spend an awful lot of their own money.”

The goal is to get 70% of Utah third graders reading at grade level by 2027.

Educators are exhausted these days. Schools in the Mountain West are dealing with extreme staff shortages that have been exacerbated by the pandemic.
