Now that your child has graduated from Kindergarten, it’s time to look ahead towards the elementary grades of 1-3 and the academic benchmarks assigned to the end of third grade.

Achievement of these benchmarks by the end of grade 3, often predicts further school success, as they are considered foundational to higher learning. Keeping that I in mind, did your child meet the end of Kindergarten benchmarks, including a reading level of at least C, according to the Fountas and Pinnell reading level standard of measurement?
