In 2019, the Alabama legislature passed the Alabama Literacy Act. The Alabama Literacy Act was established to improve the reading proficiency of public school kindergarten through 3rd-grade students and ensure that those students are able to read at or above grade level by the end of the 3rd grade. The law states that all 3rd-grade students shall demonstrate sufficient reading skills for promotion to 4th grade, beginning with the 2023-2024 school year.

The Alabama Numeracy Act is a statewide effort to help children build strong math skills in the early grades, from kindergarten through fifth grade. It was passed in 2022 to make sure students get the support they need in math, just like they do in reading through the Alabama Literacy Act. This law provides schools with trained math coaches to work directly with teachers, helping improve how math is taught in the classroom. It also ensures students who are struggling with math receive extra help early on, using proven strategies that really work. Teachers receive ongoing training so they’re always equipped with the best tools and methods for teaching math. The overall goal is simple: to make sure every child has a solid foundation in math so they can succeed in school and beyond.
