At Vilonia School District, we recognize the importance of reading as the foundation for our students' success. Starting at the end of the 2025-2026 school year, in line with Arkansas' Right to Read Act, third-grade students are expected to meet a specified reading standard to be promoted to fourth grade. This ensures all students receive the support they need to read proficiently by the end of third grade.
We believe strong reading skills enable achievement across all subjects. Our teachers provide high-quality instruction and targeted interventions to help every child succeed. We are committed to keeping you informed about your child's progress through assessment results and progress updates.
Families also play a crucial role in your child's reading development. Reading together at home for 20 minutes a day can have a positive impact on your child’s reading success. For more ideas of how you can support your child at home, reach out to your child’s teacher.
For additional information on the Third Grade Promotion requirements, visit the Arkansas Division of Elementary and Secondary Education website.
Thank you for partnering with us to help all students become skilled readers and lifelong learners.
