The National Center for Education Statistics recently released the Nation’s Report Card for 2024 and found that only 30% of all fourth graders and 29% of all eighth graders nationwide scored at or above proficient in reading.

However, the results are worse among Black students: Only 17% of Black fourth graders scored at or above proficiency — a percentage that hasn’t improved since 2022 and is worse than a decade ago. Additionally, Black eighth graders currently have a 14% proficiency rate — down from 15% in 2022.

WE NEED TO BE A PART OF THE SOLUTION

ThirdSpace intends to build a safe space for all Black children. This space within the bookstore will be to foster radical imagination through the joy of reading. We can't go anywhere if the core skill of reading isn't within our children.
