Younger children in kindergarten through second grade have other eligibility requirements for qualifying for the scholarship. Proficiency is denoted by a Level 4, and Level 5 is “advanced.” In addition, eligibility also may be determined by scores from FAST ELA Reading for Progress Monitoring 1 (PM1), PM2 or PM3 from 2022-2023. According to the Florida Department of Education, Level 3 correlates to a “satisfactory” reading level. For example, for certain students to qualify, their ELA scores from the previous year’s statewide standardized assessment must be below Level 3. This program is designed to help children in lower elementary grades-kindergarten through fifth grade-who haven’t met benchmark reading standards.Įligibility for the program is based on numerous factors and scores related to reading.
