representative olsen and
representative jason fields, as
well as each of the other task
force members for working
together on read to lead.
[ applause ]
>> wisconsin used to lead the
nation as one of the top ranked
states in fourth-grade reading
assessment.
but by the time i took office,
we sunk to the middle of the
pack.
we can all agree that we can and
should do better.
as part of our read to lead
plan, we propose swift action to
get our students back on top
when it comes to reading.
we will find screeners to assess
every child entering
kindergarten so we know the
reading levels of each of our
students to help plans to help
them read at grade level.
we require childcare providers
to put a new focus on reading
