Kentucky HB253 mandates reading instruction standards and dyslexia intervention strategies for schools.

Kentucky HB253 requires the Kentucky Department of Education to create a dyslexia toolkit for local school districts. The toolkit must include guidance on identifying students with dyslexia, evidence-based interventions, and accommodations. Schools must use scientifically researched and evidence-based reading instruction and interventions, avoiding the three-cueing system. The Education Professional Standards Board must establish standards for teacher preparation programs, ensuring they include instruction on dyslexia.
