The Department is revising requirements of the District K-12 Comprehensive Evidence-Based Reading Plan based on changes included in House Bills 7039 and 5101. The rule has also been substantially restructured to improve clarity. Revised requirements include: the removal of “K-12” of the title; additional screening, required parent notification, and definition of dyslexia-specific interventions for students who show characteristics of dyslexia; notification to parents of eligible students for New Worlds Scholarship Accounts; prioritization of highly effective teachers in K-2 classrooms; assignment of literacy coaches; ensuring reading instruction and professional learning are grounded in the science of reading; prohibition of three-cueing in the teaching of word reading; and inclusion of all district schools; include charter schools, unless a charter school elects to submit a plan to the sponsoring LEA independently from the school district that complies with all of the plan requirements.
