Note: Privacy laws dictate that for fewer than 5 students, the specific number and percentage should not be given. Therefore, if the number is
fewer than 5 students, schools should use an asterisk (*) to represent fewer than 5 students and the percentage. An * indicates that the student
population number and percentage is too small to report the value. The percentage and number of students are not shown if the percentage is
greater than 95 percent (>95) or less than 5 percent (<5).

The denominator for calculating the required percentage is all students in membership at grade 3 for the first day of spring

The denominator is the number of students who did not demonstrate reading proficiency minus students exempt
from mandatory retention in 3rd grade for good cause.

(b) Each local board of education shall report annually in writing to the State Board of
Education by September 1 of each year a description of all reading interventions provided to
students who have been retained under G.S. 115C-83.7(a).
An overall review of the reading interventions used by each Local Education Agency (LEA)
follows. The descriptions include the use of the basic requirements of the law, the use of the
state portfolio system, various outside vendor products, and explicit reading strategies.
Basic Requirements of the legislation:
1. Reading camps
2. Teacher selected based on demonstrated student outcomes in reading proficiency
3. Placement in transitional or accelerated reading classes
4. 90 minutes of daily, uninterrupted, evidence-based reading instruction
5. Monthly written reports to parents
6. Personalized Education Plans (requirement repealed in HB 237 in June of 2015)
Summary of explicit reading practices used throughout the state for retained students:
• use of the Reading Foundations course provided to schools/districts through the
Exceptional Childrens’ division at NCDPI
• small group direct instruction
• extended time in scheduled reading blocks of time (more than 90 minutes)
• during and after school tutoring
• individualized tutoring
• additional intervention time outside of the 90 minute reading block
• co-teaching with the EC, ELL, Title I, Reading teachers
• giving additional support to ELL students
• use of content specific text
• using volunteers in the classroom to tutor
• collaboration and planning between the classroom teacher and EC, ESL, Title I, reading
specialists, and literacy coaches
• use of the inclusion model
• frequent parent conferences
• use of guided reading groups
• focused literacy learning stations for independent work
• daily remediation
• after school test prep
• planning/implementing interventions based on data analysis using Reading 3D
• school literacy coach providing support to all teachers
• use of SchoolNet and released test items
• progress monitoring students between benchmarks
• communication with parents
• cross grade level grouping
• differentiation for interventions
• fluency checks and practices

Conclusions
This report included two basic components:
1. Accountability Measures reporting on proficiency rates and retentions
2. Reading Interventions used by districts for retained students in 2014-15
An analysis and comparison of both reports reveal similarities within districts that are the most
successful in moving students toward proficiency by the end of third grade. Similar processes,
strategies, and methods (such as those listed below) could be used as a model for other districts
to emulate.
Prevalent practices used by the most successful districts:
•
•
•
•
Direct and focused instruction on the foundational skills in reading – phonemic
awareness, phonics, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension
Intervention and tutoring time outside of the normal reading block
Small group and individualized instruction
Targeted instruction aligned to the individual needs of the student
These practices were reiterated throughout the Reading Interventions reports of the districts with
very successful proficiency rates. The common practices emphasize the need for teachers to
ensure that students have sound foundational reading skill development in order to understand
increasingly complex text and vocabulary. Students who are struggling in reading need extra
time and individualization through small intervention groups and tutoring. The data teachers
collect on students should be used to plan and target instruction for each student.
