The Science of Reading: U.S. Schools Race to Catch Up After Pandemic Disruption.
TL;DR Summary
The "science of reading," which emphasizes phonics and other research-backed strategies, is gaining momentum in U.S. schools as educators seek to address low reading scores and parents demand change. The approach is especially crucial for struggling readers, including those with dyslexia. While colleges of education have been slow to embrace the science of reading, every state has passed some form of legislation related to it. Parents can help by reading to their kids and pushing for evidence-based practices in their children's schools.
