The
coronavirus pandemic along with remote instruction are affecting students'
academic progress, as well as their overall well-being, according to a CDC
study. Of parents surveyed, 25% of those whose children are learning remotely
said their children's mental or emotional health had worsened -- compared with
16% of those whose children are learning in person.

Oral reading fluency
stalled for many second- and third-grade students last spring, according to a
study by researchers from the Stanford Graduate School of Education. found that students currently in second and
third grade are now approximately 30% behind what would be expected in a
typical year in reading fluency. Additionally, the study found that there
was an inequitable impact, with students in historically lower-achieving
districts — which often serve a greater share of low-income and minority
students — developing reading skills at a slower rate than those in higher-achieving
ones. The study adds that these are populations that were disproportionately
affected by the pandemic in ways that impinge on their readiness to learn,
including lack of access to computers, reliable internet access or a parent at
home.
