For legislation to improve literacy skills. Education.

AI Summary

This bill aims to improve literacy skills in Massachusetts schools by establishing a grant program under the state's Board of Education. The program will provide grants to school districts for schools to implement intensive literacy coaching, professional development, and interventions for students at risk of falling behind in reading, particularly those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. The grants can be used for school-wide literacy initiatives or targeted literacy interventions for the most at-risk students in grades K-3. Grant recipients will be required to report their results to the state, which will publish the information online, and renewal of grants will depend on the demonstrated effectiveness of the programs.
