📚 Wyoming parents — this one is for you!

Our new Families Guide to Wyoming’s K-12 Language and Literacy Act is now available on the WYO Right to Read website. This guide walks parents through the literacy journey—from screening and diagnostic assessment to parent notification, Individualized Reading Plans (IRPs), progress monitoring, and questions parents should be asking.

👉 Visit WYO Right to Read Parent Advocacy (https://www.wyorighttoread.org/parent-advocacy) and click “Families Guide to Wyoming’s K-12 Language and Literacy Act.”

We encourage every Wyoming parent to review this information and know what to expect for their student.

If you are part of a parent group, PTA, PTO, or other school organization, please share this guide with families in your district. The more parents know, the better we can support Wyoming kids.

Reading is a right, not a privilege.

🎉 Way to go, Wyoming! 🎉

Wyoming House passed SF59, and the Senate concurred with the House amendment. The bill has now cleared the Legislature and is headed to Governor Mark Gordon’s desk for signature.

SF59 establishes a K–12 Language and Literacy Program to ensure Wyoming students receive evidence-based reading instruction, along with early screeners, MTSS interventions, and Individual Reading Plans for struggling readers.

What changed in the amendment?
The amendment removed language that would have given the Professional Teaching Standards Board (PTSB) additional duties related to teacher literacy competency and licensing oversight. While PTSB’s role was scaled back, the core literacy supports for students remain in place.

This is a big step forward for Wyoming!!!

📣 WYO Right to Read: Clarifying SF0059
We encourage all Wyomingns — regardless of political party — to understand what SF0059 actually does before voting.

SF0059 does not create new obligations for educators.
Federal law already requires Wyoming school districts to identify and support students with dyslexia and other reading disabilities. What this bill does is provide accountability and structured supports to help districts meet those existing legal requirements.

We believe in local control, but local control must include compliance with federal and state law and a commitment to every child’s legal right to a free and appropriate education.

We invite you to read the full formal rebuttal and learn more about the bill here:

Thank you to all educators, families, and legislators working in good faith to ensure Wyoming students thrive.

Support Senate File 0059 for evidence-based reading instruction. Advocate for literacy rights for children with dyslexia in Wyoming.

🚨 SF59 UPDATE — ONE VOTE LEFT

SF59 has PASSED Second Reading in the House.
Third Reading — the final vote — is next.

This is the moment legislators need to hear from the people who live it every day.

📣 Families — what did or does your child go through everyday?
📣 Teachers — what happens when students don’t get the instruction they need?

Reading is not political.
Reading is a right.
