Importance of Reading Nightly Reading and comprehension are the
learning foundations for all academic learning.
Students need strong reading skills in order to learn in all other subjects.
By the end of 3rd grade, students are expected to be able to read independently.
Seventy-five (75%) of students who cannot read by age 9, will struggle with reading throughout adulthood.
Grades Any paper that has a star, smiley
face, or check mark, means the paper was corrected but it was not taken for a grade.
