A list of bills @GovernorKayIvey signed into law today does not include either the Literacy Act retention delay or the change to Tier II teacher benefits. Tomorrow is the deadline for action by the Governor. #aledchat al.com/news/2021/05/battle-b…

From the powerful NIH & VA RR&D funded research,1 in 5 people who struggle with slow or inaccurate reading or spelling skills could make large improvements in these skills in months,not years.The aim is to empower as people

Best decision, Son @ 1% in many areas, after NOW! reads <2 grade levels above with 98% accuracy. Identified late in 7th grade, remediated just before 9th HS started. #Dyslexia #DyslexiaScience Remediate then you no longer have to accommodate!

Sad.
"Even today it still baffles me that in 3 years of endless meetings, so many meetings, not one single educator had ever brought up the word dyslexia. It’s as if it didn’t exist." ow.ly/OD5R50xxvnH

Every time I look at the Alabama Education Report Card, I find myself asking more questions about what the numbers tell us and wondering whose responsibility it is to move the numbers to improve outcomes and opportunities for Alabama’s children.

Another reason to continue w/State BOE to hear from us. Sadly, I’ve failed on reaching out to them on the slow progress #AlabamaLiteracyAct Struggling Ss still do not have an #IndividualReadingPlan & Ts still need tools to #CloseTheReadingGap & understand #ScienceOfReading
There’s this, but it’s a full department review. al.com/news/2019/09/future-o… #aledchat
Yes!! I met a P(mom) yesterday w/their CONFIRMED #Dyslexia Gr1 kid. P had been asking for a yr. Summer tutoring w/Gr1 T did NOT work. T had no clue why it was not working. 😢@RepTerriCollins @SenatorAOrr @CouncilAlabama @BellStephanies @CynthiaSMcCarty @ALSDEdotEDU @ARIALSDE
Every parent deserves for their child to have a teacher who have not only gone through LETRS, but is implementing their learning in the classroom every day!
I think Alabama's students deserve the best.

❤️Yes, let’s do this!
The science of reading is based upon brain research on how children learn. fMRI data gives us the answer. ‼️
We know better and shame on us if we don’t choose to do better. 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
We can’t expect different results doing the same old things.
So when teachers are taught the science of reading and how their students’ brains work their students learn more? 😲. Let’s do this Alabama! #everyteacher #kidsdeserveit #MovingForward
“Try another word, does that make sense?” Sadly that was how my 2nd child was taught to read. 😮 😠 #wecandobetter
