EPIC released the second annual Read by Grade Three Law report
on Monday. Main findings include the fact that
52% of Michigan's third-grade students have had a "reading deficiency" identified at some point between first and third grade, teachers want more literacy-focused professional development, and
only 0.3% of tested students were actually retained by districts under the Law. The report also found that teachers spent less time, on average, leading literacy instruction this year compared to last year
(Detroit News, MSU Today, Chalkbeat Detroit, and Bridge, WZZM).
