Referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce.
This resolution is a statement by the House expressing that virtually every student should reach grade-level reading. It does not create binding law or direct federal agencies; instead it encourages states, local school systems, and private groups to use certain literacy practices like structured literacy and 1-on-1 tutoring. The text highlights concerns about low reading proficiency and pandemic learning loss and urges collaboration and adult literacy efforts. The resolution mainly expresses the House's views and priorities rather than imposing legal requirements.
This is a simple resolution considered only in the House of Representatives; it does not go to the Senate or the President and does not have the force of law.
This House resolution states that the goal of U.S. education should be virtually all students achieving grade-level reading proficiency.
It encourages 1-on-1 tutoring for students behind by one year or more, collaboration with private literacy programs, and adult literacy initiatives, but is a non-binding expression of the House rather than a funding or regulatory mandate.
As a House simple resolution it is non-binding and cannot itself create law; symbolic passage likely but legal effect near zero.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill functions as a clear, aspirational expression of priority regarding literacy: it frames a defined problem and offers specific, but non-binding, programmatic encouragements (notably 1-on-1 tutoring 5 days/week for certain students) while leaving implementation, funding, legal integration, and accountability to other actors.
Funding and implementation: liberals demand federal investment; conservatives prefer state/private funding

Funding and implementation: liberals demand federal investment; conservatives prefer state/private funding
Supports the goal of universal grade-level reading but is critical of the resolution's lack of funding and detail on equity.
Will favor investments in public schools, certified teacher-led interventions, and addressing root causes of literacy gaps.
Generally favorable to the resolution's goal and practical tutoring recommendation, but regards it as symbolic.
Wants clarity on evidence, measurable targets, and fiscal responsibility before broader endorsement.
Strongly supportive of the goal and the emphasis on structured literacy, phonics, and private-sector collaboration.
Views 1-on-1 tutoring and adult literacy as pragmatic, non-ideological solutions to skill gaps.
