Hawaii SB2430 mandates dyslexia screening for kindergarten through third-grade students and structured literacy training for teachers.

Hawaii SB2430 requires the Department of Education to administer a dyslexia-sensitive universal screener to all students in kindergarten through third grade starting in the 2028-2029 school year. This screening aims to identify students at risk for reading failure and provide evidence-based interventions. The bill also mandates that certain public school employees, including general education elementary teachers and special education teachers, participate in training on structured literacy instruction.
