AI Summary

This bill aims to improve reading assessment and intervention programs in Wyoming schools. It requires school districts to select and implement evidence-based reading assessment and intervention programs, including screening for signs of reading difficulties like dyslexia. The bill mandates that districts provide screening results and individualized reading plans to parents, and report progress data to the state. It also requires professional development for teachers in grades K-3 on evidence-based literacy instruction and identifying reading difficulties. The bill provides $300,000 in funding for these professional development expenses and directs the state superintendent to conduct a study on screening instruments and characteristics of students with reading difficulties.
