New Jersey S2645 mandates school districts to screen students for reading deficiencies.

New Jersey S2645 requires school districts to screen students for reading deficiencies. The screening must measure phonological awareness, decoding, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension, and identify students who have a reading deficiency. School districts must screen each student in kindergarten through grade three three times per school year, newly-enrolled students in grades four through 12, and any enrolled student at the request of a parent or guardian. The Department of Education must contract with at least two screening providers and make assessments available to school districts.
