California Assemblymember Blanca Rubio on Evidence Based Learning

Idea Category: Education

California Assemblymember Blanca Rubio is leading the charge to ensure every child in the state learns to read using proven, phonics-based methods. Her bill, AB 1454, would require the State Board of Education to adopt instructional materials rooted in the “science of reading” and to incorporate phonics into teacher credentialing programs. Backed by a bipartisan coalition and $200 million in new funding, the legislation, which passed the House and a Senate committee, would represent a major victory for evidence-based literacy reform.
