To provide instructional supports to school districts, school administrators and instructional personnel in implementing evidence-based reading instruction and interventions in order to improve student reading achievement. This new rule outlines RAISE supports provided by State Regional Literacy directors and establishes a tutoring program in which eligible high school students are trained to tutor students in kindergarten through grade 3 in schools identified on the RAISE list. The rule will outline minimum training criteria and processes for verifying tutoring hours of high school students for the designation of a New Worlds Scholar, as well as other requirements relating to a RAISE tutoring program. The effect of this proposal is that students in kindergarten through grade 3 in schools identified on the RAISE list will be instilled with a love of reading and improve their literacy skills.
