Modifies provisions relating to literacy of elementary school students

Summary

The legislation tells teacher‑preparation programs to teach only high‑quality, evidence‑based reading methods and to stop endorsing the three‑cueing system. It creates a Missouri Reading Screener for grades 1‑3, requires districts to identify and support students with reading deficiencies, and ties state aid and reporting to these literacy measures. The goal is to improve early reading outcomes without adding costs to schools.
