HOUSE BILL NO. 332

(Proposed by Delegate Hope 

on February 10, 2020) 

(Patron Prior to Substitute--Delegate Hope) 

A BILL to require the Department of Education to develop and 
implement a two-year pilot program to administer certain reading diagnostic 
tests and provide certain instruction. 

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. � 1. That the Department of Education shall 
develop and implement a geographically representative two-year pilot program to 
administer reading diagnostic tests that include all components of a normed 
rapid automatized naming test. Each local school division in the pilot program 
shall provide evidence-based instruction, including structured literacy instruction, 
to students in kindergarten through grade three who fall below the benchmark on 
any such reading diagnostic test or demonstrate deficiencies based on their 
individual performance on the Standards of Learning reading test. The 
Department of Education shall report to the Governor and General Assembly, no 
later than December 1, 2022, on the outcomes of the pilot program and the 
necessary resources for statewide implementation of such tests and instruction.
