Ohio reading scores rise under science of reading push

Original: Ohio reading scores rise. Is the science of reading working?

Ohio's reading scores have gone up, prompting debate over whether the state's science of reading curriculum mandate is responsible. The improvement follows Ohio's requirement that schools adopt phonics-based, evidence-backed literacy instruction statewide. Educators and policymakers are weighing the gains, with some attributing them to the new approach and others pointing to other possible factors behind the upward trend in early literacy results.

Why now: Newly reported score increases are being taken as an early test of Ohio's science of reading law.
