HB 1015 New Hampshire House · 2024 Regular Session

relative to requirements for literacy skill development in elementary grades.

This bill requires all New Hampshire elementary schools to provide specific, evidence-based literacy and math instruction to every student through fifth grade. Starting in the 2027-2028 school year, the law mandates that teachers follow a structured approach covering reading skills like phonics and comprehension, as well as writing, speaking, listening, and mathematics. The goal is to ensure every child receives support tailored to their individual learning needs while meeting state educational standards. The changes become effective 60 days after the bill is signed into law.
