Wisconsin Kids Can Read Proficiently*
Wisconsin kids are being left behind. That’s not because our kids can’t learn. It’s because adults have lowered the bar instead of raising expectations and providing the right support for students, teachers, and families. With research and evidence-based instruction, 95% of kids can learn to read — and together we can make that the reality for every child.

Restore High Standards for Wisconsin Kids
In 2024, a decision by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) lowered the bar for proficiency standards in our schools. We’re demanding DPI restore high standards and commit to transparency in how our schools’ performances are rated and how our children’s proficiency is assessed.
