The Improving America's Literacy Act amends the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to enhance literacy outcomes. It mandates that literacy activities funded under the act must be evidence-based and avoid the three-cueing model. The act requires state educational agencies to ensure that local educational agencies use grant funds for instructional strategies focusing on phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. It also mandates annual reviews of state educational agencies receiving grants, with findings made publicly available.
