Establishes Elementary Home Reading Grant Program; appropriates $500,000 to DOE from federal funds.

This bill establishes the Elementary Home Reading Grant Program to improve reading proficiency among New Jersey's elementary students. It appropriates $500,000 from unexpended federal pandemic funds to provide matching grants to school districts partnering with nonprofits to deliver home reading programs. The program requires participating districts to mail weekly reading books to students' homes, include multilingual parent communication, provide students with 6-9 books to keep, and track progress through data collection. School districts must apply competitively, with preference given to programs serving economically disadvantaged students and those designed for long-term sustainability.
