Summary
The law prohibits any K‑12 public‑school reading curriculum that relies on the three‑cueing system or visual‑memory tricks for teaching word recognition. It requires all reading materials and teacher‑training programs to use structured, evidence‑based literacy strategies such as phonics and phonemic awareness. The State Board of Education will enforce the rule and publicly report violations.
