Most teachers nationwide are being taught reading science in their teacher preparation programs.
True
False
Answer explanation
Most teachers nationwide are NOT being taught reading science in their teacher preparation programs because many deans and faculty in colleges of education either don’t know the science or dismiss it.
Much of the science of reading comes from disciplines outside of schools of education (e.g., neuroscience, linguistics, cognitive psychology, etc.) Therefore, professors who teach in schools of education are often unfamiliar with the scientific evidence base.
