Summary

The High‑Quality Literacy Instruction Act mandates that all kindergarten through third‑grade students be taught using structured, research‑based reading methods and that schools use approved instructional materials. Schools must give every K‑3 student a new literacy assessment, inform parents within 30 days if a reading difficulty is found, and provide targeted support. The law also updates teacher‑preparation programs and assigns literacy coaches to schools that rank in the bottom quarter for reading performance.
