Individual reading plans for high-risk kids
Beginning July 1, 2025, Wyoming children found at high risk of reading failure must receive an individual reading plan. Placement must occur between mid-kindergarten and the end of grade three. Plans must use evidence-based reading help outside core literacy teaching time. Group reading plans are no longer an option. Children whose individualized education program already addresses reading difficulties do not need an extra plan.
Reading checks and help for Wyoming kids
Beginning July 1, 2025, Wyoming districts must screen all children in kindergarten through grade three at least three times yearly. Checks must look for reading difficulties, including dyslexia, using tools identified by the state superintendent. Districts must promptly give parents or guardians the results and explain them. Districts must use evidence-based core reading lessons aligned with state standards and faithfully deliver evidence-based help for at-risk students. Help must offer different levels of support, address specific skills early, and use state-identified tools to track progress and guide support.
Wyoming schools must report reading progress
Beginning July 1, 2025, districts must report yearly to the Wyoming Department of Education on the 85% reading goal. The goal is for 85% of students to read at grade level by the end of grade three. Reports must track groups of children flagged in kindergarten through grade three, their total numbers, and percentages meeting or exceeding proficiency. They must list reading lessons and interventions by grade, progress in state-listed predictive skills, and statewide grade-three test results. Schools missing the goal must send improvement plans to their districts; districts must send overall plans to the department. Plans must explain next year's strategy, evidence-based teaching, assessment, interventions, and the specific training reading teachers have received. Required plan topics no longer include student-teacher ratios, certified tutors, or trained facilitators and paraprofessionals.
