Federal ‘Science of Reading’ Bill Advances

Two bills that would boost federal involvement in reading instruction
passed out of a Senate committee on Thursday, signaling Congress’ continued
interest in the “science of reading” movement.

One, the bipartisan READ Act, would put new requirements on existing
federal literacy grants to support early screening for reading difficulties
and evidence-based reading instruction, and shift some funding to states
with the lowest reading scores.

Another, the 21st Century Dyslexia Act, would change how the reading
disability dyslexia is classified under federal disability law,
establishing dyslexia as its own category.
