But more importantly, we want them to be excited about reading,” Trabulsy said during Thursday’s meeting of the House Early Learning & Elementary Education Subcommittee. AdThe most recent data on English Language Arts assessments, recorded during the 2018-2019 school year, showed 43% of third-grade students were reading below grade level. To choose a distributor for delivering books, Trabulsy said the Department of Education or third-party administrator will publish a request for bids.
