Occurrences

The Science of Reading Act would amend the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to require that literacy instruction funded through the Comprehensive Literacy State Development (CLSD) program follows the “science of reading.” Furthermore, the bill would limit the use of the three‑cueing model as the primary model of instruction for states participating in this program.

Mannion's press release describes his Science of Reading Act as a legislative commitment to require CLSD-funded literacy instruction to use evidence-based science of reading methods and limit three-cueing as a primary model.

The verified commitment describes the Science of Reading Act as legislation that would amend ESEA/CLSD literacy rules. Verified evidence shows H.R. 7890 was introduced by Houchin with Mannion and Kiley, establishing Mannion as a material participant in advancing the bill. Because the judged promise is to advance legislation, not to enact it into law, the verified introduction satisfies the action commitment. The unverified House-passage evidence was not relied on.
