Do all of you first grade teachers have to....

Do all of you first grade teachers have to record words per minute students can read throughout the year and use a certain goal number (at end of year) to determine if the student passes for the year? For example, Mary has to be able to read 65 words per minute in order to pass first grade? If so, please let me know what your words per minute cut-off is in order to go to 2nd grade.

jo/ma to OP I also get 3 or 4 kids every year with little alphabet or letter sound knowledge. Some come straight from family daycare with no kindergarten. 6 out of my 24 will likely not make our 65-103 state norm for "average" and will be considered low average, below average, or well below average, depending on their scores. I have been doing RTI and progress...See More
