Booked my 10pm flight out of PR on JetBlue thinking I’ll get sleep and be home early in the AM to get the kids ready for school. 2 plane mechanical issues & 4 hrs waiting for a new pilot, we have been given hotels to try again in 6 hrs. the conference that won’t end!

At the The Reading League, we understand the importance of identifying what the science of reading is and is not. To address widespread misconceptions, we offer the following response to the Reading Recovery lawsuit, written about in yesterday's The New York Times.

Certainly my dyslexic kids father couldn’t get our 4 dyslexic kids reading. I guess throwing $$ at the problem is expected of me bc I’m NOT a teacher? What abt the teachers who told me that it was normal for Ss to read after 3 grade or later?

The amount of Ss that were put through this program should have yielded fluent readers across the country. It didn’t. It failed. My own kids were dragged through this and it did nothing.
Data always tells the stories. Ss outcomes tells you if it works. It didn’t.

Black kids tend to be the ones that are placed in the most restrictive environment. It has significant implications on the quality of education, graduating with a regular diploma, and also their post high school experiences and employability. Dyslexia Alliance for Black Children

Mississippi wasn’t a miracle. It was a decade in the making of hard work from lots of people. You can have your opinions about SoR but the data tells the story. Kymyona Burk, Ed.D.

Always thrilled to be serving my district even if I’m not on CEC 1 anymore.

Thrilled that the work I’m doing at Literacy Academy Collective is filling my soul to be share with thousands more.

This is amazing and a reminder that not all children can travel to another country for a variety of reasons. So why bring the country to them ❤️

I’m thrilled we are working with NYS Education Department to review TPP in the state. We have heard from many teachers we have encountered that they were never taught how to teach literacy. We are finally going to empower teachers with tools they need to make their students successful.

Let’s be clear here: I don’t care who comes out to support a cause I have been working on for the last decade. As far as I am concerned, they are supporting a progressive cause.

Of note: families must submit their finances yearly (w/taxes). That determines how much aid you get if any. I know it’s hard for folks to understand that finances fluctuate but that’s not newsworthy.

Let’s be clear, I WANT Rs, conservatives & even the Moms of Liberty to want everyone to read. Why? I want their kids to be able to read the books they are working hard to ban. Science of Reading isn’t political…it’s science.
