Gov. Evers Signs Wisconsin Reading Overhaul

Gov. Tony Evers has signed a new law that will change how kids in the state are taught how to read. The governor on Wednesday signed the plan that will return Wisconsin schools to teaching phonics, and place a huge emphasis on making sure kids can read at grade level before the fourth grade. “We have to ensure our kids have the reading and literacy tools and skills to be successful both in and out of the classroom,” the governor said.
