The East Valley Tribune (7/29, Reese) reports that beginning in spring 2013, Arizona third graders will not be promoted further until they "show they can read," noting that "lawmakers passed legislation - dubbed 'move on when reading' - in 2010 that requires them to demonstrate proficiency on the reading portion of Arizona's Instrument to Measure Standards in spring 2013." The piece notes that students will be classified in four ranges, the lowest of which will be held back.
