New law will improve reading and math skills in West Virginia

Posted on by

This year, new educational laws are rolling out in Monongalia County, West Virginia. These laws are under the Third Grade Success Act. This act aims to improve math and reading skills for kids in kindergarten through third grade.

Teachers now have guidelines to follow. They need to identify if students have learning issues like dyslexia and dyscalculia. They also need to ensure their students have enough understanding in reading and mathematics. If not, there’s a risk that some students might have to redo a grade.
