Read By Grade Three Law
Reading proficiently by the end of third grade has become a significant milestone in a student's educational trajectory as it marks the time when the focus is placed on reading to learn instead of learning to read. To encourage local schools and districts to take this milestone seriously, in 2016, the Michigan Legislature passed a law that requires schools to identify learners who are struggling with reading and writing and to provide additional support. The law also states that third graders may repeat third grade if they are more than one grade level behind in reading.
