Improving Reading Proficiency for Students and Adults in the US

This House of Representatives resolution emphasizes that the goal of education in the US should be for nearly every student to achieve grade-level reading proficiency. It encourages the implementation of literacy programs with one-on-one support and collaboration between state and local governments with private organizations to improve reading skills for both children and adults. This aims to provide better prospects in school, work, and daily life.
Key points
Support for struggling readers: Encourages one-on-one tutoring 5 days a week for students with a reading gap of one year or more, until they reach grade level.
Collaboration for literacy improvement: State and local governments, including educational agencies, are encouraged to partner with private organizations offering proven literacy programs.
Adult literacy programs: Encourages initiatives to help adults reading below an eighth-grade level, which can improve their job prospects and overall societal functioning.
