Here in the United States, we still have many schools, districts and states caught in literacy limbo and struggling to shift to evidence-based practices in reading instruction. By engaging stakeholders and simultaneously pulling multiple levers at once, Virginia passed sweeping Science of Reading legislation in 2022. The tremendous efforts of UVA Professor Emily Solari and Virginia Delegate Carrie focused on pulling three levers at once: Teacher Prep and Professional Development, Curriculum and Instruction, and Assessment. How is the momentum for literacy reform in your state? Here in Maryland we have a new legislative mandate for all schools to follow a comprehensive literacy plan for the upcoming 2024-2025 school year, including alignment of higher education and teacher preparation programs!
