If an Alabama law were fully implemented, 12,000 students across the state wouldn’t be moving on to the next grade. They’d be held back.
Last year, a portion of The Alabama Literacy Act went into effect it was created to help improve reading in Alabama public schools. It was also created to ensure students are reading on grade level by the end of the 3rd grade.
“Without that skill at the end of the third grade, they are four times more likely not to complete high school,” said Senior Research Associate for Public Affairs Research Council of Alabama Thomas Spencer. During the 2021 school year, Alabama implemented the Literacy Act curriculum to sharpen the focus on early grades reading.
According to the test scores, Wilcox County had the lowest test scores, with 58% of third graders falling behind, and the highest test scores were from Mountain Brook City, with just three percent.
