State expands summer reading camps to include younger grades
The General Assembly funds an extra 20 million for public schools to offer summer reading camps for first and second graders who struggle. Attendance remains voluntary, though teachers and principals may urge participation. Proficiency for younger students is judged by classwork and yearlong assessments rather than end of grade tests. Gaston residents react positively, noting early reading programs raise milestones.
