US K-12 Districts Use AI to Boost Student Literacy
US K-12 districts are adopting AI tools to address declining student reading scores. National Assessment of Educational Progress data shows about one-third of eighth graders lack basic reading skills, the highest on record, and 2024 average reading scores for high school seniors fell to a 34-year low. Anderson School District 5 in South Carolina uses tools like Ozobots and Google Gemini's Storybook to personalize reading instruction.
