First Grade Teacher on Post-Pandemic Reading Challenges Needed by EOD

Associated Press reporter hoping to connect with a first grade teacher who has seen an uptick in reading challenges since the pandemic Hi, My name is Moriah Balingit and The Associated Press's early education reporter. I'm working on a story about some embargoed data that shows worrisome signs for first grade literacy and was interested in connecting with a teacher who might be able to speak to any challenges or changes they have seen since the pandemic. If you can help, please send me a pm or an email at [email redacted]. I'd love to be able to connect the data with the real-world experience of someone who is doing the work. My story is due EOD Monday, so if you can reach out soon, that would be great! Best, Moriah
