In July 2018, the legislature enacted the Nebraska Reading Improvement Act (Section 79-2601-79-2607) that ensures students have the necessary supports to read proficiently by grade 3. Beginning in the 2019-2020 school year, the law outlines a number of processes to identify struggling readers and provide focused interventions. While most of the exemplary practices described in the legislation are already happening in schools across the state, the law brings a renewed emphasis to the importance of early literacy and an opportunity to accelerate reading proficiency for some students. Nebraska Reads Plan This early literacy law requires districts and schools to set in motion procedures to identify and support students who demonstrate challenges with early reading. These include early and frequent screening, parental notification, the design of an Individualized Reading Improvement Plan (IRIP), and supplemental reading intervention services. The Nebraska Reading Improvement Act states:
The Law. Any student who is identified as having a reading deficiency shall receive an individual reading improvement plan no later than thirty days after the identification of such reading deficiency. The reading improvement plan may be created by the teacher, the principal, other pertinent school personnel, and the parents or guardians of the student and shall describe the reading intervention services the student will receive through the supplemental reading intervention program pursuant to section 24 of this act to remedy such reading deficiency. Each such student shall receive reading intervention services through the supplemental reading intervention program pursuant to section 24 of this act until the student is no longer identified as having a reading deficiency.
