New Jersey's new K–3 literacy screenings reveal early challenges that directly impact comprehension: 43% of students are below grade level, with significant gaps in phonemic awareness, phonics, and reading comprehension — the foundational skills needed to make meaning from text. A full report of results will be published by NJDOE Summer 2026.
At the same time, screen use is reshaping how children process information. National data shows declining reading performance, and research confirms that increased screen time is linked to weaker comprehension and shallow processing. Students may be able to read the words — but struggle to truly understand them.
Reading comprehension requires attention, memory, and the ability to process meaning — all of which are impacted by stress and distraction.
