Beyond excited to see Fran Dunmore from @GOSA_GA present at the GA Literacy Council this week.
This slide said it all: parents are key partners in literacy. We are not on the sidelines, we are leading this push in the trenches.
We carry the stories. We demand better. Every child deserves to learn to read.
“Parents are the glue that holds all of this together. We are on the frontlines.” 👏 Parents whose children have been hurt by systemic failures will stop at nothing to make change. We would do anything to prevent the harm that’s being inflicted. #Literacyandjusticeforall
You know what no one talks about enough?
Parents are the ONLY constant in the literacy fight.
Governors change.
State admins change.
District leadership changes.
Parents don’t.
We are the historical continuity in the literacy world — and we’re not going anywhere until every child learns to read.

Georgia’s current literacy problems are reflective of the poor implementation of our literacy legislation.
We picked weak curricula. We allowed too many options. Training is inconsistent. The screening → intervention pipeline is unclear.
Meanwhile, states like TN & LA made bold, unified choices—and it’s paying off.
Georgia’s kids deserve the same.

The Curriculum Insight Project can't get here soon enough. @CurriculumIP@GaDOEELA@GaDOEsped@NAACPGeorgia
The more closely I look at these curriculum lists, the more baffled I become!! Georgia is no exception.
I have so many genuine (and frustrated) questions about this chart, in particular:
