stops us from improving Education everywhere? A Literacy-Based Promotion Act passed in
Mississippi in 2013 put the emphasis on K-3 grade-level reading skills.

and sufficient training, early I.S. of students who struggle with reading
through screening, creation of an individual reading plan for those identified
as struggling, including specialized instruction, and requiring that third
grade students pass a state reading test to move on to fourth grade.
