After the Flood: Reading Instruction Post SoR
Science of Reading’s murky waters have crested, says Dr. Hruby. Our classrooms are ours to reclaim if we strategize now. Join Dr. Hruby in a conversation about why SOR may be on the outs, the backstories behind it, and how we can take back control of our teaching and students’ learning.

Teaching Children in Dangerous Times
Thursday, May 7th, 2026, at 7:00 PM EST 6:00 PM CST, 4:00 PST
Register in advance for this free webinar:
The Science of Reading Act of 2026 - H. R. 7890 Is Not Based on Science. H. R. 7890 mandates by federal law hierarchical teaching, limiting problem-solving and learner-centered practices that will provide children with foresight and facilitate their participation in a digital society which is transforming how people communicate, work, learn and live.
Dr. Taylor’s forensic analysis will show how various right-wing groups have used the politicization of the NRP report, the 100,000 study lie, the 5-pillars lie, and the “science of reading” dog whistle to gaslight every sector of US society.
If you want to push back against top-down SoR mandates that disempower teacher, get involved with ILEC. Stay informed about the latest articles postings, webinar, zoominars, Whine and Wine and other events and resources. There’s no cost. Join us.
