We had a great visit with @senatorpicozzi at @JHancockSchool in Northeast Philly to see structured literacy in action. His takeaway: “Teaching reading is rocket science”—and every teacher deserves SoR training. 🚀📘 #paliteracy #scienceofreading #structuredliteracy

PA will require schools to adopt evidence-based reading curriculum by the 2027-28 school year and institute new literacy instruction training for teachers. These new requirements are a major step forward for improving literacy instruction in the state. https://t.co/h4PZ851ldI

About 1 in 3 Pennsylvania fourth graders could read at a proficient level last school year, according to national test scores. The new state budget puts more money toward boosting literacy rates.

https://t.co/zzw9r5JsCR Rep. Jesse Topper on the House floor Weds said he thinks the “robust” increases in ed spending with the added requirements that districts adopt “evidence-based” literacy programs “will make a difference” for Pennsylvania students. WE AGREE!! #paliteracy

Philadelphia spent $25 million overhauling its reading curriculum. But after the first year of implementation, its reading scores on Pennsylvania state tests are going in the wrong direction.

“When we talk about ‘back to basics,’ we’re really talking about going back to what research shows us works, which is explicit and systematic instruction and reading and math,” Lambert said.
