Other editors Cartoonist View Third-grade gate needs strong foundations Mississippi has made it more chal- lenging for its students to advance to fourth-grade. Since 2015, the state’s third-grade students have been required to pass a reading test in order to be promoted. Starting this year, they must achieve an even higher score to pass the test. The so-called third-grade reading gate was modeled on a program from Florida. The idea is that after third grade, students begin reading for comprehension, rather than learning to read. Thus, it is a disservice to promote students to fourth-grade until they have a strong foundation in reading or they will be overwhelmed by the material and fall further behind. For the test’s first four years, students had to reach the second, or basic, level on a state test scored in five tiers. This year, they must reach the third level. Those who fail will still have two chanc- es to retake the test, and some students can qualify for good-cause exemptions for various reasons. We salute Mississippi for raising the bar and holding its students to high expectations. One of the fruits of the State of the nation law has been an increased emphasis on reading instruction, including more state support and training for teachers.
