Grade Level Expectations For
LES First Graders
2019-2020
The South Carolina Read to Succeed Act became law in 2014. The intent of this law is to ensure all students have the reading skills necessary to become college and career ready. This law includes significant changes regarding promotion and retention of third grade students.
Your child will be tested in the Fall and Spring of 2018-19 and these are the benchmark expectations:
Benchmark expectations for our first graders using Fountas & Pinnell:
Aug./Sept.- Level D
Nov./Dec.- Level F
Feb./Mar.- Level H
May- Level J
The Fountas & Pinnell Assessment was administered during the 2018-2019 school year to all students at Lugoff in grades 1-3 in preparation for the new state law.
(Using the Fountas & Pinnell Benchmark Assessment Systems to determine student’s independent and instructional reading levels, teachers are able to observe student reading behaviors one-on-one, engage in comprehension conversations that go beyond retelling, and make informed decisions that connect assessment to instruction.)
