FAST, the grade 3 reading rule and Wonders in Miami-Dade

Students in grades 3 to 10 take FAST ELA Reading on computer three times a year. In 2026-27 the windows fall in August to September, late November to January, and May, and only the May test counts for school accountability.
Florida law requires a grade 3 student to score Level 2 or higher on the statewide reading test to move on to grade 4, unless a good cause exemption applies, such as an acceptable score on an approved alternative test or a portfolio.
In 2025-26, Miami-Dade elementary schools taught reading in an uninterrupted block of at least 90 minutes a day using McGraw Hill Wonders, with i-Ready as well as FAST for screening. For 2026-27 the School Board adopted new ELA materials for every grade from kindergarten to grade 12.
Students who need extra help get small-group reading intervention, 30 minutes a session, five days a week. Third graders retained after a Level 1 score in the spring can attend a five-week, full-day summer reading camp.

A tutor can work on the phonics, fluency and comprehension skills FAST ELA Reading measures, with steady practice between testing windows. For a third grader near the Level 2 mark, sessions can target the exact gaps the school's reports show.
