Momentum Builds for MA Third Grade Reading Bill

July 17, 2012 by Irene Sege
As I reported last week, we are thrilled that the Massachusetts House of Representatives unanimously approved An Act Relative to Third Grade Reading Proficiency  and urge the state Senate to follow suit before the current legislative session ends on July 31. (Massachusetts readers, click here to ask your senator to pass An Act Relative to Third Grade Reading Proficiency.)
Over the past few months, momentum for the bill has also been building on the editorial and news pages of newspapers across the commonwealth:
