The READ Act aims to improve literacy outcomes by supporting evidence-based reading instruction, teacher training, and early intervention.
The READ Act, or Reading Excellence and Achievement for Development Act, seeks to enhance literacy proficiency among students by promoting evidence-based reading instruction aligned with the science of reading. The Act mandates that states receiving grants update their teacher licensure or certification standards to reflect this approach. It also requires schools to notify parents of students at risk of reading difficulties or performing below grade level in reading.
