Nevada should hold back third graders who do not meet reading standards.

Nevada's Read by Grade 3 law, restored in 2023, requires retaining third graders who fail to show reading proficiency, with some exemptions. Keeping it means more students repeat third grade until they meet the standard.

Agree

I still support Read by Grade 3, I'm always going to be open for conversations and communication, and if there's new evidence … I need to be open to it.
