The Science of Reading: U.S. Schools Race to Catch Up After Pandemic Disruption.

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.

Revolutionizing Education: The Science of Reading

A movement called "the science of reading" is sweeping school board meetings and statehouses across the US, targeting the education establishment, which critics say has failed to embrace the cognitive science of how children learn to read. Research shows that most children need systematic, sound-it-out instruction, known as phonics, as well as other direct support, like building vocabulary and expanding students’ knowledge of the world. The movement has drawn support across economic, racial, and political lines, and its champions include parents of children with dyslexia, civil rights activists, lawmakers, and everyday teachers and principals.
