In 2021, 海角换妻 passed a law mandating school districts to have curricula focused on quote "the science of reading." That refers to research-backed approaches to literacy like phonics.
Initially, all 200 school districts had until July 1 of this year to implement an approved 鈥渟cience of reading鈥� program. That deadline is now July 1, 2025. But not all school districts are happy about this.
