Prohibits school districts from using a three-cueing system model of reading instruction

HB 941 prohibits public and charter school districts from using the "three-cueing system" (a reading method relying on meaning, structure, and visual clues) for teaching students in kindergarten through 12th grade. Instead, it mandates that all schools establish evidence-based reading programs for kindergarten through fifth grade, requiring instruction in phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. The bill also requires new K-3 reading teachers to receive specialized training in these research-backed methods. This policy directly affects schools, teachers, and students by shifting reading instruction away from the banned approach toward structured, scientifically supported techniques.
