SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Education Improvement Act of 2005. Creates the Phonics Instruction Incentive Program and Fund to award grants on a competitive basis to public schools that have failed to achieve full accreditation due to poor student performance in reading to purchase materials using systematic and explicit phonics for kindergarten through grade two, and for related instructional training programs. In addition, the measure amends the Standards of Quality to provide that remediation programs addressing reading skills shall utilize research-based reading initiatives and to require all remediation programs to incorporate research-based curricula that have demonstrated success in improving student performance. Finally, the measure requires, on and after July 1, 2006, that persons seeking licensure renewal with endorsements as teachers in elementary grades, reading, or special education, demonstrate skills in reading instruction.
