DeWine pushes the 'Science of Reading,' talks ODE lawsuit during visit at Cincinnati State

Gov. Mike DeWine stopped by Cincinnati State Technical and Community College on Thursday to meet with educators using the "Science of Reading" to teach students to read.

The Science of Reading is a learning approach that teaches kids to focus on pronouncing letters within words and combining them together to form complete words and sentences. The method differs from other reading strategies that teach kids to memorize words and use context clues until they can read and understand them.

DeWine's effort to implement the Science of Reading into Ohio's public schools has hit a few speed bumps along the way. A recent lawsuit filed by seven members of the Ohio State Board of Education has added another obstacle.
