Libraries aren’t just book lenders—they can be literacy leaders.
Libraries deserve the same training in the Science of Reading as educators. When they’re on board, they become powerful allies in solving the literacy crisis.
Libraries are trusted. Everyone loves them.
Every child—every ZIP code—deserves to read. 📚✨

@agnes_bemoe I love this! I still remember Ramona Quimby, Age 8 from when I was a child. Beverly Cleary made me want to keep reading about my favorite character!
@Parents4RJ Empowering and educating parents is important work! It will transform the way schools view their stakeholders and insist that all students have the right to read.
Parents are the most powerful force in the reading crisis—and the system hopes they never realize it.
FACTS:
• Nearly all kids can learn to read
• Schools are required by federal law to identify dyslexia & teach kids how to read
Once parents know this, everything changes.
There is nothing more important than fighting for children’s literacy.

@LawleyPublishi1 There are clear benefits to reading aloud for the listener, but I never considered how reading aloud to my children would benefit me too! I love this list of ways reading aloud impacts the reader, too!
