Each local education provider that enrolls students in kindergarten or first, second, or third grade shall provide to the students enrolled in said grades the instructional programming and services necessary to ensure to the greatest extent possible that students, as they progress through kindergarten, first, second, and third grade, develop the necessary reading skills to enable them to master the academic standards and expectations applicable to the fourth-grade curriculum and beyond. The instructional programming and services for teaching students to read must be evidence based and scientifically based and must focus on reading competency in the areas of phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary development, reading fluency including oral skills, and reading comprehension.
