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 https://t.co/iL4VrLhQQ0

@TheMorrisCenter 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!

Thankful for AGC's Co-founders and Board to be embracing #DyslexiaScience and #TheMorrisCenter for literacy concerns

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." https://t.co/fQbWfJKg7f

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

[Trisha Powell Crain @Trish_Crain]

@SunnySouthAL There’s this, but it’s a full department review. https://t.co/caSs3O7mdt #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

[Sonya Yates, CALT @Sonyayates]

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.

@egmackey @Trish_Crain @RepTerriCollins @SenatorAOrr @CynthiaSMcCarty @BellStephanies @CouncilAlabama we have got to get moving on the tools Ts need that are outlined in the #AlabamaLiteracyAct Just met a Gr1 confirmed #Dyslexic kid where his Ts had been saying he is fine. #1in5

[Sonya Yates, CALT @Sonyayates]

❤️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.

“Try another word, does that make sense?” Sadly that was how my 2nd child was taught to read. 😮 😠 #wecandobetter
