State Board will identify and approve instruments for assessing kindergarten reading readiness and the literacy and reading comprehension level of each pupil in first, second or third grade. No later than the 1998-99 school year, each district must assess on an annual basis the reading readiness or literacy and reading comprehension level of each pupil enrolled in kindergarten, or first, second or third grade using the state assessment. An individual literacy plan formulated for each student if literacy falls below the level established by the state. Students with disabilities are exempt from these requirements, although literacy plans may be incorporated into individual education plans. Each literacy plan shall include: 1) sufficient in school instructional time to develop pupil's reading comprehension skills; 2) an agreement by parents to implement a home reading program to support and coordinate with the school; 3) if necessary, placement of the student in a summer reading tutorial program. District must reassess each individual literacy plan each semester until pupil is reading at or above grade level. Pupil cannot be passed on from third to fourth grade reading classes if score below state reading comprehension level. Districts must report annually on the number and percentage of pupils enrolled in third grade who: 1) read at or above the third grade level; 2) have an individual literacy plan; 3) increase their literacy and reading comprehension by two or more grades during one year of instruction. Legislative Declaration. The General Assembly hereby finds and declares that all pupils can succeed in school if they have the basic skills in reading and writing that are appropriate for their grade levels. The General Assembly further finds and declares that, for success in school, reading is the most important skill, closely followed by writing and mathematics. Accordingly, it is the obligation of the General Assembly, the Department of Education, school districts, schools, educators, and parents or legal guardians to provide pupils with the literacy skills essential for success in school and life. It is the intent of the General Assembly that, after completion of the third grade, no pupil may be placed at a grade level or other level of schooling that requires literacy skills not yet acquired by the pupil. In no case shall a school district permit a pupil to pass from the third grade to the fourth grade for reading classes unless the pupil is assessed as reading at or above the reading comprehension level established by the state board.
