Onward and upward!
The Alabama Literacy Act is proving it is working! On #LiteracyDay, we are reminded that a strong start matters, and we’re making sure every child can read by the third grade. Reading scores are on the rise among every demographic of Alabama students. #alpolitics

Scoop from @Trish_Crain: Alabama schools held back 452 third graders at the end of the 2023-24 school year because of the accountability requirements of the Alabama Literacy Act. That's a lot less than critics of the law feared. aldailynews.com/alabama-reta… #alpolitics

It's worth noting that Dr. Mackey's slide still stated that 91% of students are reading "on grade level" - which isn't what the 91% figure represents. It represents "sufficiency," which is a lower bar than on grade level which is a lower bar than proficiency. #ALBOE
