The Right to Read Act of 2025 aims to ensure all students have access to effective school libraries, reading materials, and literacy instruction.
The Right to Read Act of 2025 amends the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to enhance student literacy by supporting effective school libraries. It defines "right to read" as access to evidence-based reading instruction, effective school libraries, family literacy support, diverse materials, home reading materials, and the freedom to choose reading materials. The Act mandates that school libraries be staffed by at least one full-time State-certified school librarian and provides for data collection on school libraries.
