Their solution is that you must read at a 3rd grade level in order to get promoted to 4th grade. It brought them from basically the worst State to the 30th percentile in reading for 4th graders.
So, common sense? If you’re requiring proficiency in order to promote, then I’d expect to see significantly better results than this.
It’s noteworthy that they’re still basically the worst in 8th grade reading and math. Might take some time for these literate 4th graders to get up to 8th grade age.
I don’t think Alabama is a model for anything related to public education.
