Requires school districts to screen certain students for reading deficiencies.

This bill requires New Jersey school districts to screen all kindergarten through grade 3 students three times yearly for reading deficiencies using approved assessments. It also mandates annual screening for newly enrolled students in grades 4-12 and allows screenings at parent request for any student. Districts must notify parents within 15 days of identifying a deficiency, provide evidence-based interventions, and report screening data to the state. The assessments must measure core reading skills like decoding and comprehension, and the Department of Education will approve and distribute valid screening tools.
