As a reminder, Curricular Guidance was provided after SB 127 passed. Utah Code 53E-4-307 requires school districts and charters to provide evidence-informed core curriculum materials and evidence-based intervention materials in English Language Arts for students who are reading below and well below benchmark on the Acadience Reading assessment.

The following list has been reviewed and vetted to determine if the curricular program meets or does not meet the requirements set forth in SB 127 (2022). The review committee was only able to dive into programs that were submitted for review. The committee plans to run another review in the spring to add more programs to this list. These programs were reviewed using the Science of Reading Evidence-Informed Core Criteria Checklist. In addition, intervention programs were also reviewed using Utah’s Critical Features of Tiered Literacy Interventions document. Please note, this is not an exhaustive list and curricular programs will continue to be added as they are reviewed. We recommend continuing to review your own curriculum using the same criteria.
