Read to Succeed
In June 2014, the South Carolina General Assembly passed Act 284 (Read to Succeed),as a monumental step toward closing the state’s achievement gap and increasing opportunities for all students in South Carolina. The goal of Read to Succeed is to ensure all students graduate from high school with the reading and writing skills they need to be college- and career-ready. Read to Succeed legislation is ground-breaking for South Carolina because it is comprehensive, systematic, and affects every educator and student in the state through eight components:
1. State, district, and school reading plans
2. Focus on third grade progression
3. Summer reading camps
4. Provision of reading interventions
5. Requirements for in-service educator endorsements
6. Early learning and literacy development
7. Teacher preparation
8. Reading Coaches
