American Enterprise Institute | What Can the US Learn from England’s Rise in Reading Scores? @AEI | Uploaded 2 weeks ago | Updated 10 hours ago
In the United States, the “science of reading” movement is increasingly driving states to rethink literacy instruction to address persistent reading deficits. While researchers have advocated phonics-based literacy instruction for decades, many states are just now pivoting in this direction.
England, however, has long used a similar approach to early literacy instruction. Over the years, reading test scores in England have steadily risen, bringing the country near the top of international rankings with better-than-average post-pandemic recovery.
As the science of reading continues to gain traction in the United States, what can policymakers, researchers, and advocates gather from England’s experience? Former Minister of State for Schools Nick Gibb, who played a crucial role throughout England’s literacy movement, will discuss his insights with AEI’s Robert Pondiscio.
