This is especially critical when it comes to reading. Reading is the key that unlocks every other subject. Before NCLB, reading scores nationwide had been stagnant at best. Fourth-grade reading scores actually fell during the 1990s, according to the Nation's Report Card. Since NCLB, more reading progress has been made in five years than in the previous 28 years combined. Achievement gaps between Hispanic and African-American 9-year-old students and their white peers have shrunk to historic lows. In 2005, a record 85 percent of Wisconsin third-graders scored at the proficient or advanced levels on the Wisconsin Reading Comprehension Test, a 22-point increase in seven years.
