Bill > S0758

This bill: - Requires that certain reading instructional and intervention programs, instructional materials, and teacher training exclude those that employ the "three-cueing system model of reading" or visual memory as the primary basis for teaching word recognition. - Revises requirements for school districts' comprehensive reading plans, including a provision that districts must describe how they prioritize the assignment of highly effective teachers to early grades and how reading coaches are assigned to individual schools. - Mandates that instructional materials for foundational reading skills cannot include certain instructional approaches, and that professional development for teachers must also exclude those approaches. - Overall, the bill aims to prohibit the use of certain reading instruction methods that are not considered scientifically-based or evidence-based, and to emphasize more explicit, systematic, and sequential approaches to teaching reading.
