It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
Education
Headline: Reading on grade level in Third Grade is a key milestone that sets children up for success. Children who are not reading on grade level are more likely to have poor education, health, and employment outcomes later in life.
Data highlight: Significant disparities are present by race/ethnicity in third grade reading outcomes – about twice as many White children are reading on grade level in third grade compared to Black and Hispanic/Latino children. Below are the percent of third grade children reading on grade level in the 2018-19 school year:
| Forsyth County | North Carolina | |
|---|---|---|
| Black | 37% | 41% |
| Hispanic/Latino | 35% | 43% |
| White | 74% | 70% |
