Alabama Literacy Act

In accordance with the law, all kindergarten through 3rd grade students are given an Alabama State Department of Education approved reading assessment.  Based on the results of the assessment, each kindergarten through 3rd grade student who exhibits a reading deficiency shall be provided an appropriate reading intervention to address his/her specific needs.  In addition, parents of any student who exhibits a consistent deficiency will be notified, an Individual Reading Plan shall be developed, and parents shall be given strategies and resources to use at home to help the student succeed in reading.

This  legislation extends comprehensive information and other guidance for educators to  focus concentrated and systematic efforts to improve the reading skills of all public  school students in early literacy so that every student is reading at or above grade-level by the end of third grade.
