HRES 738 United States House · 118th Congress

Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the goal of the education system shall be that virtually every American student be able to read at grade level or better.

HRES 738 is a non-binding resolution expressing the House of Representatives' view that the U.S. education system should aim for virtually all students to read at grade level or better. It encourages states and schools to implement one-on-one tutoring for students with reading gaps of one year or more, five days a week, until they reach grade level. The resolution also urges collaboration between government agencies and private organizations to address literacy gaps in K-12 students and establish adult literacy programs for those reading below eighth-grade level. It directly affects students struggling with reading and adult learners, but does not create new laws or funding.
