RtA Background
Reading is at the core of all instruction in Kindergarten through 3rd grade where students learn foundational reading skills, as well as build deeper comprehension skills. Students must also have strong reading skills to be able to succeed in all other subject areas. At CFCI, a student’s reading progress is measured regularly using the mClass DIBELs assessment system. This system allows teachers to understand the reading skill development of all students and identifies struggling students as well as students who need reading enrichment. By state law, if your child is reading below grade level or struggling with reading, the school must inform you of exactly what type of reading difficulty your child is having and what instruction or interventions are being used to help advance his or her skills.
Goal
The NC Read to Achieve law (G.S. §115C-83.1) clearly defines expectations for 3rd grade, “The goal of the state is to ensure that every student reads at or above grade level by the end of third grade and continues to progress in reading proficiency so that he or she can read, comprehend, integrate, and apply complex texts needed for secondary education and career success.” By the end of 3rd grade, students are expected to be independent readers. This means they can read and understand words, sentences, and paragraphs and answer comprehension questions about their reading.
End-of-Grade Tests (EOG)
The North Carolina EOG tests measure students’ progress on the standards in the North Carolina Standard Course of Study in reading and math. Students in grades 3-8 take the EOGs each spring. The third grade EOG reading test is currently a multiple-choice test and students are asked to read selections and answer questions about the selections. Students are expected to pass with a level 3, 4 or 5 score and a Lexile of 725 or higher.
