State Requirements
Per the Nevada Department of Education overview: Nevada Revised Statute (NRS) 392.748 defines reading to include, without limitation, phonological and phonemic awareness, decoding, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. The science of reading refers to a broad, evidence-based body of research across disciplines such as education, cognitive science, linguistics, and psychology that is focused on understanding how individuals learn to read, the processes involved in reading development, and the most effective instructional practices for teaching reading. This includes insights and information regarding all of the elements of reading as outlined in NRS 392.748.
In 2025, SB460 was enrolled that sets out the Science of Reading Requirements in Nevada.
