The purpose of this proposed amendment is to update language, provide clarity regarding fidelity of program implementation, include the new Next Generation Content Area Professional Development (NGCAR-PD) package to align to the proposed changes to Rule 6A-5.090, F.A.C., Content Area Reading Professional Development, and revise fluent and disfluent language to align to the proposed changes to Rule 6A-6.054, F.A.C., Student Reading Intervention. It is proposed that the language fluent and disfluent be stricken from the reading intervention and K-12 Plan rules as new research suggests that fluency is not a strong predictor of a student’s ability to comprehend text in middle grades and high school; this language is replaced with students in need of decoding and text reading efficiency instruction.
