Move on When ReadingBeginning in the school year 2013-2014, Arizona will implement

new policy that will create multiple opportunities for 3rd grade students to master grade level reading.

 According to ARS 15-701:• A requirement that a pupil not be promoted from the third

grade if the pupil obtains a score on the reading portion of the Arizona instrument to measure standards test, or a successor test, that demonstrates that the pupil's reading falls far below the third grade level.

Exemptions: • English Language Learners or Limited English Proficient that

have received less than two years of English Instruction; and• Students with disabilities provided that the pupil’s

individualized education program (IEP) team and the pupil’s parent or guardian agree that promotion is appropriate based on the pupil’s IEP.
