flag Michigan's reading crisis prompts a state-wide literacy push with new programs and training.

flag Michigan students are struggling with reading, as 2025 state test results show less than 40% of third and fourth graders met proficiency in English language arts, a decline from the prior year. flag In response, Governor Gretchen Whitmer declared March 2026 Reading Month and is advancing the "Every Child Reads" plan—the state’s largest literacy investment. flag The initiative focuses on early childhood education, evidence-based teaching methods like the Science of Reading, and expanded tutoring during school, summer, and after-school programs. flag Over 6,000 educators have been trained in LETRS, with plans to reach all teachers. flag Public libraries are key partners, offering free books and literacy programs. flag The governor urges Michiganders to support educators and read regularly to build lifelong literacy skills.
