To expand the provisionof the literacy-based promation act in order to provide certin intervention and implementation stratagies for literacy proficiency among students in grade 4 through grade 8

HB 4892 expands West Virginia's Literacy-Based Promotion Act to cover students in grades 4 through 8, requiring the State Board of Education to implement evidence-based literacy support systems. It mandates professional development for teachers and literacy coaches focused on scientifically backed reading instruction, including phonics, decoding, and vocabulary strategies. The bill also requires universal reading screenings three times yearly and annual reports on program implementation. These changes directly affect 4th-8th grade students and their educators by providing structured intervention resources to address reading difficulties.
