Congratulations to our June 1st student funding cycle recipients.

We continue to see record numbers of applicants for funding for phonics based tutoring. School disruptions and virtual learning have put many dyslexic learners at a greater disadvantage.

Low literacy costs our nation approximately $230 billion a year and literacy is connected to mental health. When are we going to realize that our ability to change the trajectory of our economic and medical systems relies on how we teach our children to read? #PlainTalkNOLA

Know what Balanced Literacy excels at? Giving parents and kids the ILLUSION of skillful reading.

Memorizing sight words, and guessing unknown words via pictures, is not reading. Rather, these unfortunate habits stand in the way of a child ever learning to read properly.

WOW😮 A @DriverTrust poll “found 1/3 of teachers have doubts about validity of #dyslexia & nearly 1 in 10 headteachers believe it’s neither a useful nor valid term” If this true of your school we’d love to hear from you? Share on here or [email protected] This must change👇
