Using evidence-based instructional practices in reading and writing literacy for public elementary students.

Summary

The law mandates that all Washington public school districts, charter schools, and state‑tribal schools provide a comprehensive reading and writing program for kindergarten through fourth grade that includes annual screenings, family engagement, and a curriculum meeting specific evidence‑based components. It also updates teacher‑endorsement standards, creates statewide dyslexia resources, and requires regular reporting. The changes aim to improve literacy outcomes and address equity gaps, especially for students at risk of dyslexia.
