Summary:
- This article discusses the bipartisan "Science of Reading" bill that recently passed the U.S. House Committee on Education and Labor.
- The bill aims to improve reading instruction in schools by promoting the use of evidence-based teaching methods known as the "science of reading."
- The science of reading refers to decades of research on how children best learn to read, focusing on phonics, phonemic awareness, and other foundational skills. This approach has been shown to be more effective than traditional "whole language" methods.
