Proverbs 31:8/9•Mom•#SOR•

Elementary School Administrators:

At this point in time, it's job malfeasance on your part to have @FountasPinnell materials in your school.

It indicates:

1) you're clueless about reading science
2) you're derelict with taxpayer money
3) you don't give a damn

@BethNetherland @ED_Sped_Rehab @teainfo @pastors4txkids @ATPAmyT @DyslexiaToday @TheDIRevolution @tasbnews @BethNetherland TX is a cesspool. ALTA lobbied against The Beckley Wilson act, denying children with dyslexia access to child find and #idea. Who actually supports children’s education in this state?

[Elisha Kalvass @kalvass]

@ED_Sped_Rehab @teainfo @pastors4txkids TX continues to violate #ChildFind. The deck is stacked against children and parents in this state. @ATPAmyT @DyslexiaToday @TheDIRevolution

@DrMPaff Another dirty secret of #BalancedLiteracy blame the parents for THEIR curriculum failures. Here’s yet another gem perpetuated by @FountasPinnell @LucyCalkins

It shouldn’t take 4 year lawsuit and $350k for parents to earn the right to have their children learn to read in public school……and yet it does. BRAVO to these families for bearing the weight of us all.

[Jan Hasbrouck, Ph.D. @janhasbrouck]

"Unfortunately, sometimes it takes a federal dyslexia class action lawsuit to change things..." Among other things, prohibits the use of Fountas & Pinnell or Reading Recovery. https://t.co/qieuML2pDR

[Elisha Kalvass @kalvass]

Look at you CA. Enforcing the LAW and prohibiting #balancedliteracy @FountasPinnell @rrcna_org mandated universal screening for dyslexia and requiring #scienceofreading curriculum.

[Decoding Dyslexia CA @DDCalifornia]

A proposed settlement has been reached in the class action #CAdyslexialawsuit v Berkeley USD.
BUSD must develop a Literacy Improvement Plan to boost reading achieve. for all students, esp. those @ risk of reading disabilities.🧵

[Elisha Kalvass @kalvass]

Agreed. However, those pesky parents pushing legislation for their dyslexic kids also happen to be the same ones moving districts to SOR to serve ALL children. They are intimately familiar with the damage of illiteracy. @DyslexiaToday @1in5advocacy @ATPAmyT #scienceofreading

[Tiffany Peltier, Ph.D.🌸 @tiffany_peltier]

“However, the push for dyslexia legislation is the wrong solution for the root cause of the nation's problem. When most students in a nation struggle to read, the answer cannot be to focus on identifying and intervening with a minority of students.”

[Parents for Reading Justice @Parents4RJ]

In our district we realized that we couldn’t wait for dyslexia legislation when federal law should already protect our children. We parents took matters into our own hands. When you fix the system for children with dyslexia, the entire district will move to the science of reading

Help us demand accountability for our children.

[Marilyn Muller @1in5advocacy]

“Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.” ~Frederick Douglass

Power on The Hill says “No” to repetitive asks for accountability to laws in the federal Individuals w/ Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).

So we’ll demand it.

Funny thing…. @texasldcenter and it’s knowledgeable experts are right in my backyard. And yet my child’s schools district refuses to serve my child who they diagnosed with 3 SLDs. Can lead a horse to water….

[Texas Center for Learning Disabilities @texasldcenter]

This report by Drs. Jack Fletcher and @jeremymiciak1 summarizes research on the identification of SLD and makes recommendations for practice. https://t.co/Kz3J22t3g6
