## Resource

Massachusetts is launching a bold new push to transform how kids learn to read—with the Right to Read Act mandating evidence-based teaching methods starting this school year. Designed to close literacy gaps and support every student, especially those struggling with traditional approaches, the law requires districts to overhaul curricula and train educators using proven strategies rooted in reading science. Officials are watching closely as schools nationwide implement these changes, aiming for a statewide boost in reading proficiency—and a brighter future for all students through strong foundational skills.
