National Trends in Science of Reading Policy Implementation

Session Submission Type: Symposium

Abstract

This session unites researchers from across the US working to understand how the current wave of legislation, aimed at alignment with the Science of Reading, is understood and enacted across the country. Across papers considering assessment, curriculum and selection processes, we aim to illuminate the landscape of legislative influence on the instructional core, to expose pathways and opportunities for researchers and practitioners to make good trouble and lead changes that support equity and opportunity.
