According to the National Adult Literacy Survey, 70% of the prison population cannot read above a 4th grade level. Our six moms are fighting to disrupt the #schooltoprisonpipeline by giving ALL children access to reading intervention. #educationequity

"In September, New York City’s education department plans to open the city’s first traditional public school exclusively devoted to students with dyslexia and other reading issues." The result of years of advocating by the @LiteracyAcadNYC team! ny.chalkbeat.org/2023/4/12/2368…

Discipline disparities are even more apparent for students of color with disabilities. For students of color with a disability, 1 in 4 boys and 1 in 5 girls receive an out of school suspension. Read more here: bit.ly/3B5AUc6.

By embracing phonics instruction, Mr. Adams is staking a clear position in the long-simmering “reading wars” between those who favor explicit instruction... and those who support “balanced literacy.” nytimes.com/2022/06/01/nyr…

Our advocacy and work over the last 3 years has lead us to this announcement. We are excited to finally provide a space for teacher training and provide targeted academic structures so all students can read.
Chancellor Kamar H. Samuels@DOEChancellor

This fall, we are piloting 2 programs for students w/dyslexia at Literacy Academy Collective in PS 161 Bronx & Lab School for Family Literacy in PS 125. These 2 programs will provide deep professional development & comprehensive learning interventions for students with dyslexia.

This process has been therapeutic for me bc I’ve been advocating for my #dyslexic children for 16yrs. I still harbor deep anger over how @NYCSchools failed my oldest son. As a result, you will see in @Film_LeftBehind what I had to do to save my youngest son.

Schools Chancellor Banks is calling for an overhaul of how children learn to read in New York City's public schools, saying the approach many schools use isn’t working and that he wants to move toward a focus on the teaching of phonics. gothamist.com/news/nyc-schoo…

The results of this study are not shocking. The pandemic wreaked havoc on our children’s reading attainment. Time for schools to implement a structured literacy curriculum rooted in multi-sensory and sequential phonics. nytimes.com/2022/03/08/us/…

We agree, @DOEChancellor — teaching students how to read should be one of the most fundamental things we do as a school system, and it is a betrayal that 65% of Black and Brown children don't reach proficiency in reading.

This is the story of so many families. While we know our school can’t help everyone, we know we need to start somewhere. Our hope is that we can prove how successful ALL students can be if given the proper foundational support to read.
