(Trent Nelson | The Salt Lake Tribune) Students in Marci Weatherspoon's first grade class work on a reading assignment at Crescent Elementary in Sandy on Thursday, Dec. 10, 2020. Statewide, just 46% of incoming first graders came to school this fall at or above benchmark proficiency in early literacy. Crescent Elementary has had success in getting their kids back on level by doing things like recording lessons for students to watch while in class and the teacher then works one on one with students who need more help.
