California AB1121 aims to improve early literacy by ensuring evidence-based instructional materials and professional development for teachers.

California AB1121 addresses the state's literacy crisis by mandating the adoption of evidence-based instructional materials for kindergarten through eighth grade in English language arts, English language development, and reading. The bill requires the state board to adopt at least five basic instructional materials for each subject and grade level, ensuring they meet quality criteria and do not contain commercial logos unless deemed necessary. Local educational agencies must use these materials unless granted a waiver.
