How can we ensure that state and school district leaders implement the science of reading well? And don’t just give it lip service and a 2 hour professional development session?

K-12 Education is in a world of hurt when it fails to adopt reading curriculum, practices, and assessment that are clearly supported by research! No?

The National Reading Panel recommended approaches to reading that were evidence-based. They included phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, comprehension, and vocabulary. Balanced Reading is based on a failed theory of action that reading can be acquired through repeated exposure to text similar to oral language. Reading must be explicitly taught and is not acquired through exposure. Hope this helps.
