Georgia's K-3 reading screener, Milestones ELA and APS literacy

Since August 1, 2024, Georgia law has required schools to give every student in kindergarten to grade 3 a universal reading screener three times a school year. Any K-3 student who shows a significant reading deficiency gets a tiered reading intervention plan.
Students in grades 3 to 8 take the Georgia Milestones End-of-Grade test in English language arts each spring, online unless a disability makes that unsuitable. In Atlanta Public Schools the 2025 window ran from April 28 to May 14.
Atlanta Public Schools says its literacy teaching is grounded in the science of reading, with systematic, explicit instruction. In August 2026, four APS elementary schools began an Accelerated Literacy Model for Pre-K to grade 3, with extended literacy blocks.
APS reports that about 35% of its third graders score proficient or above on the Milestones ELA test, a figure that has been roughly flat for a decade.

A tutor can work on the early skills the K-3 screener checks, such as hearing sounds in words, phonics and fluent reading, and on the comprehension and writing the Milestones ELA test measures from grade 3.

Can you help my child prepare for Georgia Milestones end-of-grade ELA tests?

Yes. Local tests include: Georgia Milestones end-of-grade ELA tests in Grades 3-8 and the American Literature end-of-course test. Tutors build the underlying reading skills first, then practise questions in the right format as the test approaches.

What times are lessons available in Atlanta?

What happens if the reading screener shows my child is behind in Georgia?
