How schools fund reading intervention in Nevada
The state-level programs below are the streams Nevada districts most often use for evidence-based reading intervention purchases, alongside the federal streams available everywhere.
Read by Grade 3 funding (AB 400, 2023)
State RBG3 funds support literacy specialists at each elementary school, intensive instruction and intervention for students identified with reading deficiencies, professional development, and curriculum resources; districts implement per NDE’s annual RBG3 School Implementation Guide, making this the primary state stream for K-5 reading intervention purchases.
Pupil-Centered Funding Plan (PCFP) weighted/base funding
Nevada’s main funding formula (NRS ch. 387) provides base and weighted per-pupil funding (e.g., at-risk, EL) that districts may direct toward reading intervention staffing and materials consistent with their improvement plans and the Nevada State Literacy Plan.
Approved-list note: Nevada mandates specific state-adopted RBG3 screening assessments and requires interventions to be evidence-based and aligned to the Nevada State Literacy Plan, but no statewide approved intervention-curriculum list was identified.
