How is Michigan's science-of-reading and dyslexia teacher-training bill HB 5646 moving through the Legislature?

The Michigan House on June 18, 2026 passed a K–12 literacy training package anchored by HB 5646, which requires teacher-preparation programs to include the science of reading by September 30, 2027, alongside companion measure HB 5697 that requires reading-instruction training for certain administrators. Sponsor Rep. Kelly framed the bill as a response to Michigan's literacy scores, while committee action in March adopted an H-1 substitute narrowing HB 5697's scope. The package now moves to the Senate.
