Five of the 19 students in teacher Chelsea Grant's third grade classroom are reading below grade level. When it's time to read aloud on a recent Friday, the students show vastly different levels of skill and confidence. Grant's students – "my babies" as she calls them –- spent the better part of the 2020-2021,school year learning from home. It was first grade, a crucial year for learning to read.
