An article and a map on states’ 3rd grade promotion requirements in the May 13, 2015, Education Week special report “Building Literacy Skills: The State of Reading Instruction in Grades K-3” included outdated information on Washington state.

A version of this article appeared in the June 03, 2015 edition of Education Week as Correction
