How legislation on reading instruction is changing across the country

[link removed]



State laws vary considerably about what curricula schools can use to teach reading. APM Reports reviewed these laws and consulted with state departments of education. We found that 18 states have minimal or no involvement in which core reading programs districts adopt, aside from setting broad educational standards; 6 states have some general requirements about using evidence-based core reading programs; 14 states have an advisory list of approved core reading programs that meet the state’s requirements; and 12 states have what's closer to a mandatory list of core reading programs that districts need a waiver to deviate from.
