The bill aims to enhance literacy in the U.S. through several measures. It amends the Elementary and Secondary Education Act to emphasize evidence-based practices and focus on phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension in literacy instruction. It prohibits the use of the three-cueing model and requires annual reviews of State educational agency grants to ensure progress in student literacy outcomes. The bill also mandates research to identify effective strategies for improving literacy and requires a report to Congress. Importantly, the bill includes rules to protect the rights and instructional requirements of individuals with disabilities and ensures that the Federal Government cannot mandate specific instructional content or control educational agencies or schools.
