Early reading failure fuels the school-to-prison pipeline.

In a new op-ed, educator and national speaker Hilderbrand Pelzer III explains why literacy is freedom work and how leaders can interrupt the pipeline where it begins: in our classrooms.

Putting language development goals in all your lessons can be annoying at first. But, when you see the power it unleashes, you'll realize just ridiculous it was to NOT do it.

Fellow educators,

We are at a pivotal time in education. We have a choice to make. We can either accept the status quo (greater than 60% of our children are not reading proficiently) or we can change it. https://t.co/K6IMBbk1uX

If you’ve gotten anything at all out of following Christ, if his love has made any difference in your life, if being in a community of Spirit means anything to you, if you have a heart, if you care then do me a favor. Agree with each other, love each other https://t.co/d5mjBR8ArO

At Zaretta Hammond’s keynote at the 8th Annual Reading League Conference, she emphasized that culturally relevant teaching is a key part of the evidence base for fostering deeper learning. She highlighted the critical intersection between the science of reading and the science of learning, demonstrating how both are essential for creating effective literacy instruction. Hammond discussed strategies like “sticky” learning and “desirable difficulties” to enhance retention and critical thinking, and stressed the importance of building student capacity before reducing scaffolding. She also encouraged students to become “word collectors” to expand their comprehension. Her message was clear: stop the pedagogy of compliance and become facilitators of students’ cognitive development, empowering them through culturally relevant practices!
