Strong Readers Act; modifying number of screening instruments to be approved; modifying criteria for approval. Effective date. Emergency.

Summary

The bill mandates that all kindergarten through third‑grade public‑school students be screened for reading skills three times each year using state‑approved instruments. It requires the State Board of Education to approve no fewer than three such tools that meet specific scientific and practical criteria, and it obligates schools to create individual reading intervention plans within 30 days for any student who falls behind. The goal is to identify and support early reading difficulties, especially dyslexia, more quickly and consistently.
