Alabama Literacy Act
Being a skillful reader is critical for a student’s overall success throughout school and in life. To help ensure students become successful lifelong readers, all students in grades K-3 are administered a state-approved reading screener a minimum of three times a year. This screener provides teachers with individual student strengths and deficiency areas to assist with reading instruction and intervention plans. According to the Alabama Literacy Act, “Commencing with the 2021-2022 school year, third grade students shall demonstrate sufficient reading skills for promotion to fourth grade. A student scoring at the lowest achievement level in reading on the established state assessment for third grade will not be promoted to fourth grade unless the student meets a good cause exemption for promotion.” In our proactive planning approach, students who score deficient on any area of our screeners, will have a Student Reading Improvement Plan, or “SRIP”, developed to ensure that we all work together to help your child progress in reading skills to prevent retention. Our goal is to identify students missing essential skills early, so that every effort can be made to fill educational gaps.
