What would it take to help every child become a confident reader?In this episode of All4Ed Flash, we break down the newly introduced READ Act—a bipartisan proposal that would strengthen and modernize the federal Comprehensive Literacy State Development (CLSD) grant program.Learn how the legislation supports evidence-based literacy practices, including science of reading-aligned instructional materials, early literacy screenings, stronger teacher preparation, literacy coaching, tutoring, summer learning, and family engagement.We also explore why literacy is about more than academic success—it's essential for workforce readiness, economic opportunity, and ensuring every student has the support they need to succeed.
