mom, advocate for change, finding ways to support and encourage children with dyslexia, encouraging parents to stand up for their children, remaining hopeful

[Carrie McCormick @SAYDyslexiaSC]

How thankful I am to have had the time to be with them at home to see 1st hand how they learn. How smart, brave and strong they are—made with a purpose. Advocacy starts at home.

[Carrie McCormick @SAYDyslexiaSC]

Almost 2 yr break from social to focus on some gaps with my kids. COVID shutdown brought those into light… Putting them back in school and hoping we have done all we can to advance the learning deficits, but still feeling like it wasn’t enough. #hardplacetobe

H4434 would help literacy in SC by screening for #dyslexia K-2 @senshanemartin your amendment provides Districts the excuse they need not to identify the #1in5 @Kshoesmith @potpier1 @SAYDyslexiaSC @garyclarysc @BeckyeBarnes @BjGraham05

DYSLEXIA BILL H.4434 IS A STEP CLOSER TO BECOMING A LAW. TODAY IT PASSED THE SENATE AND IS HEADED BACK TO THE HOUSE. #sayDyslexia #1in5 #sced @SAYDyslexiaSC @annawil56078852 @BeckyeBarnes @j_dyslexiasc @jon4jen @DDNC13 @garyclarysc

[Carrie McCormick @SAYDyslexiaSC]

As we wait for our State Senators to support H4434, I am thankful our district has recognized #dyslexia and is planning good strategies to address literacy for ALL students in their schools. #CCSD Thank you! @DDSC1n5 We need State support too! Pass #4434 @SenatorCampsen

[Carrie McCormick @SAYDyslexiaSC]

We need support from our state senators. We are counting on you to make the right decision and support #4434. @senshanemartin @SenatorCampsen @harveypeeler @vincentsheheen This effects around 144 THOUSAND students in your state. 10K in CCSD alone. https://t.co/mb5j9VHfpu

[Karen Smith @Kshoesmith]

SC children with #dyslexia are waiting to fail 3rd grade because the #1in5 are not identified early. Pass H.4434! @senshanemartin @harveypeeler @vincentsheheen @SAYDyslexiaSC @BeckyeBarnes @jon4jen @j_dyslexiasc

[Carrie McCormick @SAYDyslexiaSC]

SC we have an opportunity to help close the literacy gap we face. Support H.4434
#1n5 Our children deserve this. #action #dyslexia #screenearly @SenatorCampsen @DDSC1n5 @senshanemartin @GregHembree @mikesottile @SCSenatePress https://t.co/3X34tHrNSA

[Carrie McCormick @SAYDyslexiaSC]

@SenatorCampsen Please support H.4434 and reach out to your colleagues to help support as well. This effects 10K students in CCSD alone. Our district is trying to do what they can, but we need state support too. @senshanemartin @DDSC1n5 https://t.co/ihDBTwUtLM

[Karen Smith @Kshoesmith]

We can improve literacy with H.4434 to help guarantee SC children CAN read by 3rd grade #dyslexia #1in5 #teach #sced @SAYDyslexiaSC @j_dyslexiasc @BeckyeBarnes @senshanemartin https://t.co/jC3bHKNV7o

[Carrie McCormick @SAYDyslexiaSC]

This is such an important issue and effects so many children. Please encourage your colleagues to support this. @mikesottile @SenatorCampsen @senshanemartin @GregHembree We need your help to pass #4434 now https://t.co/OGaTcrmBJ1

[Karen Smith @Kshoesmith]

SC teachers don't know why their students struggle to learn to read. Dyslexia bill H.4434 will change that by identifying the 20% of children with Dyslexia in school. https://t.co/lKLyE4b2Xl @senshanemartin @GregHembree @SAYDyslexiaSC @BeckyeBarnes @ProfePolchow

[Decoding Dyslexia South Carolina @DDSC1n5]

Another state passes a Dyslexia law. Let’s not be left behind in SC and pass Dyslexia bill H.4434 this year. #1in5 #SayDyslexia @SAYDyslexiaSC @BjGraham05 @j_dyslexiasc https://t.co/NIm6lSrumn

[Carrie McCormick @SAYDyslexiaSC]

Seeing our National Report card SC must do better educating their children in reading. Passing #4434 will be a step forward in the right direction. We need support across the state #1n5 in @ChasCountyGov would be 10K children. @DDSC1n5 @mikesottile @SenatorCampsen #wecandothis https://t.co/IQUC0K6eVL

Most of the time as parents of dyslexics we become educators of dyslexia. Here is a quick video to share. Nearly 80% of all reading learning disabilities is dyslexia #1n5

SC children need support from our legislators. As parents we are doing as much as we can outside of school, but our children deserve the necessary resources in school as well. Please pass 4434 https://t.co/GaIlyWkZ4n

[Decoding Dyslexia South Carolina @DDSC1n5]

Please pass Dyslexia bill H.4434 for early screening so we can identify the #1in5 children with #dyslexia that struggle to learn to read in our SC schools @shanemassey @HughKLeatherman @SAYDyslexiaSC @ProfePolchow https://t.co/CiJaX5EqBa

[Carrie McCormick @SAYDyslexiaSC]

Well, this is a powerful image. Thanks for posting, will be using to help our case in local district. It is something seen first hand for many families and could something is given the right support, a child may not have to face. https://t.co/tv0O4bqJJN

[Carrie McCormick @SAYDyslexiaSC]

Good info for parents to have. Many are receiving retention letters, but curriculums are still not able to offer support in order for children to learn to read. Thankful our district is working toward making positive changes. https://t.co/4Hysyz4zj4

[Institute for Multi-Sensory Education @IMSEOG]

Across the U.S., more states are adopting '3rd Grade Guarantee’ laws, which mandate children will leave 3rd grade able to read or be held back. We took an in-depth look at the history of these laws, which states have them and where the law is moving next. https://t.co/6G5fU3HugC
