Federal grants for school reading programs would prioritize methods based on the 'science of reading'.
This bill would change how federal money is given out for reading programs in schools. It would make sure that these programs follow teaching methods supported by the 'science of reading' and would no longer allow a method called the 'three-cueing model'. This aims to improve how students learn to read across the country.
Today, federal grants for comprehensive literacy instruction do not explicitly ban the 'three-cueing model' or prioritize teaching methods aligned with the 'science of reading'. If this bill passes, the 'three-cueing model' would be explicitly excluded from federally funded literacy programs. Additionally, states and schools would receive priority for federal literacy grants and subgrants if their programs align with the defined 'science of reading' methods.
