A 6208 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to screening and services for dyslexic children

This bill requires all New York school districts to screen every student for dyslexia starting in kindergarten, continuing annually until second grade. Screenings must use evidence-based, low-cost tools to identify children with dyslexia or similar reading difficulties early. If identified, schools must provide small-group, multi-sensory phonics instruction as an additional service to support these students. The law directly affects public school districts and students with dyslexia, mandating specific screening and intervention procedures under state education law.
