Summary

The Science of Reading Act changes the Elementary and Secondary Education Act so that any federally funded literacy program must be based on evidence‑based reading research and cannot use the three‑cueing model. It affects states, school districts and schools that receive ESEA funds by tying grant eligibility to alignment with the defined "science of reading". The goal is to improve reading outcomes by promoting proven instructional practices.
