Creates, repeals, and modifies provisions relating to literacy of elementary school students

Summary

HB 2872 would replace several existing education statutes with new rules that require teacher‑training programs to teach evidence‑based reading components and ban the three‑cueing method. It creates a Missouri Advisory Board for Educator Preparation and an office of literacy to guide the state board, develop a statewide literacy plan, and oversee annual compliance reviews. The changes would affect teacher candidates, educator preparation institutions, and public‑school students by shaping how reading is taught.
