EDUCATION – Amends and adds to existing law to revise and establish provisions regarding the Idaho Literacy Achievement and Accountability Act.

This bill revises Idaho's literacy education laws to improve reading instruction and support for students in kindergarten through grade 3. It requires school districts to provide evidence-based reading interventions aligned with the "science of reading" (avoiding the "three-cueing system") for students identified with reading deficiencies or dyslexia, and mandates individual reading improvement plans within 30 days of identification. The state board must develop a comprehensive literacy plan every five years, incorporating stakeholder input and evidence-based practices to ensure students reach grade-level reading proficiency by the end of third grade. These changes directly affect K-3 students, school districts, teachers, and the state education board.
