H.R. 7890

Science of Reading Act of 2026

Education and Workforce Committee · Rep. Erin Houchin (R-IN)

16 September 2026 | Passed House with amendment (voice vote)

What's next: To the Senate (if and when it takes it up)

Summary: The bill would modify a federal grant program for literacy instruction to require that funded programs align with "science of reading" principles—emphasizing phonics, phonemic awareness, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension—while explicitly excluding instructional methods that rely primarily on context clues or visual memory for word recognition. It aims to direct federal education funding toward evidence-based reading instruction approaches supported by research.
