All children deserve to learn to read, and all teachers want & deserve the preparation that will allow them to help their students achieve this goal. The latest @NCTQ report finds programs have room to improve & highlights models to learn from. nctq.org/review/standard/Rea… #TPR2023
When @ER_Illinois was fighting for a legislation for a K-2 early literacy screener in IL, it was all about empowering teachers with the proper reading data to respond early with the proper literacy instruction. Thanks @rweingarten for your advocacy 🙌🏻
💯check out the SOR reading resources on the AFT’s website aft.org/education/publicatio…
This report highlights the urgent need for improved teacher preparation in reading instruction. We must promote evidence-based practices and discard debunked strategies. Our students deserve quality education. the74million.org/article/new…

Reading is an educational and civil right.
It is not a gift or elusive skill offered only to parent-supported or wealthy children.
