The first presenter will discuss the introduction of national scale early grade literacy assessments and how the findings informed countries and their donor partners.
The second presenter will discuss the advent of early grade reading programs, using the EGR Barometer to explore the impact of these programs.
By reflecting on research and experience, the final presenter will suggest the next steps on this journey to improve early grade literacy worldwide.
