Mississippi HB810 aims to expand literacy intervention strategies for students in Grades 4 through 8.

Mississippi HB810 seeks to enhance literacy proficiency among students in Grades 4 through 8 by implementing an evidence-based literacy intervention program. The bill mandates the State Department of Education to develop rules for this program, which includes universal screeners, professional learning, job-embedded coaching, and educator preparation programs. It prohibits the use of three-cueing systems in teaching word reading. The State Department of Education must also create a formula to identify Middle Literacy Support Schools based on reading proficiency data.
