In fact, the average student is estimated to require 4.1 additional months of reading instruction and 4.5 more months of math to catch up from COVID-19 learning loss, according to a July report from NWEA that analyzed the MAP Growth test scores of 6.7 million students from 20,000 public schools. Older students were also more likely to need even more time to recover, NWEA found.
