NEBRASKA READS Act
In 2018, the Nebraska Legislature passed the NE READS
Act. David Jespersen, Public Information Officer, Ne-
braska Department of Education said in a 2019 press
release, “The NebraskaREADS initiative emphasizes the
need for pre-kindergarten through third-grade students
to have access to high-quality instruction, and for strug-
gling readers to receive targeted, individualized sup-
port.” Students in grades pre-k through sixth have been
receiving testing for targeted interventions, but now
there will be more communication and documentation
about students needing more support with reading in
grades kindergarten through third.
Litchfield Public Schools will be testing our students
three times a year and providing targeted supports for
them, as well as tips on how to help them become
better readers. There will be more information to fol-
low for families with students in kindergarten through
third grade.
