Half of teacher preparation programs align with the science of reading, report finds
A new report finds that slightly more than half of teacher preparation programs now align with the science of reading, doubling from a quarter three years ago. However, hundreds of programs remain unaligned, and many teach outdated methods, despite states adopting science of reading policies. States like Mississippi, Louisiana, Tennessee, and Indiana saw reading score improvements with these policies, but progress remains uneven.
