California teachers are trying to help students who fell behind in their reading skills during remote learning. They also must meet state grade-level standards for instruction, leaving many wondering if some students will ever recover from learning loss.
Snowballing learning loss
“I’ve been looking at what they have to learn in fifth grade, and it’s harder to fit in phonics,” Grago said. “It just keeps snowballing.” Thus far, teachers say absences and positive COVID cases are down this school year compared to January’s, but students still have a hard time focusing in class after a year of learning from home.
It might take a couple of more years to undo the academic fallout of the past three years and get students reading at grade level, Gonzalez said, but she’s encouraged by the progress her students have made this year. Students can also stay after school for extra help, but Grago said only about half of the students who really need it will stay. In general, making extra help optional outside of the school day creates inequities. For example, students whose parents have flexible schedules will be more likely to get rides home if they stay after school than those who don’t.
Anderson-Byrd said it’s possible to recover learning loss while teaching students new material. She’s seen some principals use COVID relief funding from the federal government to hire several reading specialists and conduct frequent assessments of all students.
