For over 50 years, reading outcomes in the U.S. haven’t meaningfully improved.

According to the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP):
• Reading scores in grades 4, 8, and 12 have remained largely flat
• More than 60% of students are not reading at a proficient level

That’s not just a school issue—it affects what happens after students leave the classroom.

In this video, Dr. Tim Conway shares this data at the National Association of Reentry Professionals conference, where professionals focus on workforce reintegration and second-chance opportunities.

This number stopped us cold. 👇

59,000,000.

That's how many U.S. adults now read at the lowest literacy level. Up from 40 million just six years ago.

And here's what makes it a workforce crisis, not just an education story: AI tools mirror the education level of the person using them. That's not an opinion — that's from Anthropic's own January 2026 research.

Low literacy doesn't just affect school outcomes. It affects earning power — adults at the lowest literacy levels earn about $29,000 less per year than those at minimum working proficiency.

NOW! Programs® — founded by neuropsychologist Dr. Tim Conway, PhD — has spent 30+ years building and documenting a better path. Evidence-based reading instruction that works. For kids. For adults. For the workforce.

Today we announced NOW! Programs® as an official Employee Assistance Program benefit. Online. Affordable. Proven.

Do you know that is legal in the US and medical malpractice is illegal?
Why is this allowed?
Educational systems ignore research proving what is and is not a highly effective literacy instruction or they ignore the or research on which dyslexia remediation program is repeatedly proven to be highly effective and which ones are minimally to not at all effective.

Instead schools give made up, untested, unproven and typically very ineffective literacy or IEP services (nationally IEPs only have a 5% success rate of ending students literacy struggles).

These ineffective general literacy instruction services (65% of US students do NOT learn to read proficiently) and highly ineffective dyslexia / IEP services are truly harmful and traumatizing to children.

Ignoring peer-reviewed research, especially ignoring Randomized Controlled Trials RCT research and instead giving made up, untested, unproven and especially giving solidly proven to be INEFFECTIVE programs and needlessly and knowingly harming students is the definition of malpractice.

There is only one way to describe school systems’ egregious and harmful actions:

From non-reader to 12th grade accuracy — in just 10 months. 🧠
A 13-year-old homeschool student with dyslexia couldn't read. After working with NOW! Programs®, she achieved 12th grade reading accuracy in under 10 months — not by learning differently, but by following the brain's natural developmental sequence.
Dr. Tim Conway's approach starts with sound processing before phonics — the sequence the brain is actually wired for. When that foundation is built correctly, reading follows. And as this family discovered, it can happen faster than anyone expects.
Her story was just picked up by FOX 2 News. Read it here 👇

Parents of kids with dyslexia…

If you’ve ever thought:
“We worked on it yesterday… and today it’s just gone.”

You’re not imagining it.

“There was no floor under the learning.”

This explains why that happens — and what actually has to come first for reading to stick.

Watch this first.

More later today.
