Region 1 Literacy Scan, 2019–2022 - Complete

A comprehensive review of state literacy policies, initiatives, and funding in the Northeast states of the United States and literacy legislation across the country

In 2022, the Region 1 Comprehensive Center (R1CC) Advisory Board members requested a scan of state literacy policies, initiatives, and funding across the four Region 1 states—Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont.

This report summarizes the methods used to conduct the scan, key findings, and opportunities for states to explore.

A national review of literacy legislation was also conducted as part of a larger scan of state-level literacy policy and funding initiatives to explore the guiding question: What are the literacy policy trends currently happening across the country?
