AN ACT CONCERNING STUDENT LITERACY, ASPIRING EDUCATORS, AMERICAN SIGN LANGUAGE AS PART OF THE WORLD LANGUAGES CURRICULUM AND THE PARAEDUCATOR HEALTH BENEFIT PLAN SUBSIDY PROGRAM.

Summary

Effective July 1 2026, every Connecticut school district must craft a personal reading plan for any student in grades four through nine who scores at the lowest levels on the state English Language Arts exam or fails to meet growth targets. The plan must pinpoint reading gaps, set goals, prescribe evidence‑based interventions such as high‑dosage tutoring, involve a literacy team, and keep parents informed. The law also adopts new, evidence‑based reading assessments for kindergarten through third grade to identify early readers who need extra help.
