Introduced

Summary

This resolution would make achieving virtually every student's grade-level reading proficiency the stated goal of U.S. education. It would push structured literacy and targeted tutoring while encouraging adult literacy efforts.

Show full summary
  • Students and families: It would encourage one-on-one tutoring for any student diagnosed with a reading gap of one year or more, five days per week, until the student reads at grade level. This targets early and persistent reading gaps.
  • Schools and educators: It would promote structured literacy approaches that include phonics, multisensory methods, and individual diagnostic assessments overseen by a certified teacher. It would also urge state and local education agencies to work with private organizations that have proven programs.
  • Adults and communities: It would encourage state and local governments to collaborate with private groups to create adult literacy initiatives for people reading below an eighth-grade level, citing ties between higher reading levels and better employment and lower incarceration rates.
