If California is serious about grounding literacy reform in scientifically validated instruction, then Direct Instruction must not merely be eligible — it must be central.
It is not just aligned with the science of reading.
It IS the science of reading.

Opinion | The reading wars are ending. Phonics won. California belatedly follows Southern states in abandoning a failed teaching method.

Let’s not reinvent the wheel — especially when it’s been rolling strong for nearly 60 years.
Direct Instruction has helped generations of kids become confident readers, and yet somehow, schools keep overlooking what actually works.
Mary Eisele reminds us: we don’t need a new fix — we need to trust what’s been fixing it all along.
