The amendment to Bill HB 5372 modifies the criteria for teacher preparation programs by specifying that they must offer accredited programs of structured literacy instruction, as opposed to simply stating that the programs should be accredited by the International Dyslexia Association. This change emphasizes the requirement for structured literacy programs and may impact how these programs are classified and recognized in the state.
