High-quality pre-K has a remarkable impact on children’s reading skills.
At the start of the 2022-23 school year, only 41% of pre-K students in Texas demonstrated reading proficiency. By the end of the school year, that number jumped to 83%. Through the development of emergent literacy skills, pre-K programs improve kindergarten readiness and create a foundation for long-term learning.

An investment in today’s Texas teachers is an investment in Texas’ future workforce.
Texas can lead the way in making the teaching profession an attractive and competitive career choice. However, becoming a teacher isn’t top-of-mind for tomorrow’s leaders. Only 3% of Texans who took the SAT in 2023 cited an interest in teaching, and most parents in Texas do not support the idea of their children becoming teachers. The Texas legislature should support strong incentives that elevate the status of teaching and draw diverse talent into our public schools.
