Governor Newsom Press Release
California to Screen 1.2 Million Kids for Reading Challenges Earlier than Ever Before
Governor Gavin Newsom announced that California’s Reading Difficulties Risk Screener Selection Panel has identified and approved reading difficulties risk screening instruments for K-2 students. EdVoice sponsored the initial legislation in 2023 that ultimately led to passing universal screenings for reading difficulties, including dyslexia, as part of the state budget.
