If your child can’t read, nothing else matters. Partner with your district. Push your district. But if they choose debunked reading programs over kids— go to the mat. Sue if you have to. This isn’t about money or ideology. It’s about every child’s shot at a life! No one else is coming. #literacynow #dyslexia #reading | Parents for Reading Justice

“Parents are the most powerful force in the reading crisis—and the system hopes they never realize it. FACTS: • Nearly all kids can learn to read • Schools are required by federal law to identify dyslexia & teach kids how to read Once parents know this, everything changes.

Yes—focus on early literacy. But don’t you dare forget the older kids. 🔥 They were failed by broken systems. Now that we know what works, we have a moral duty to give them structured literacy too. We cannot abandon a generation of children. 📚💔 | Parents for Reading Justice

We excused educators because colleges failed them. That excuse ended the moment the science of reading proved most effective. There are no barriers now—SoR resources are free. Excuses are harmful. Kids are being traumatized, pushed into prison pipelines, and destroyed mentally and emotionally. The stakes are life-and-death. Parents bring the urgency because the system won’t. Decades wasted.

I have the privilege of serving on a leadership council with Reid Lyon. Rewatched his 2002 C-SPAN testimony as Bush’s reading advisor—on structured literacy & the science of reading. It’s still painfully relevant. We can’t lose another 25 years. Parents must be engaged. Evidence-based literacy has to happen now! #literacynow #dyslexia #reading | Parents for Reading Justice

Teaching reading is rocket science. 🚀 Kids lose confidence, lose hope, or get mislabeled because we didn’t train their teachers in what actually works. That has to stop! And if a college didn’t teach it? Then it’s on the teacher to get that training anyway. Every teacher deserves high pay and high-quality training in the Science of Reading. High pay high respect = high responsibility. No more myths. No more guessing. Drop the debunked methods and get on board! Kids only get one shot at learning

The education system has limits on parent engagement — and those limits have failed our kids. We’re done accepting them. This isn’t a day job for parents. This is literally the lives of their children. Parents are legally and morally entitled to be part of their child’s education, and we’re here to make sure that happens. Parents for Reading Justice is on a mission to educate and activate families to hold the system accountable for delivering evidence-based literacy instruction. #literacynow #dy

🔥 Time is up. A Tennessee student graduated with a 3.4 GPA but couldn’t read — and he sued his district… and WON! Per Dr Louisa Moats, 95% of kids can learn to read with structured literacy. We know how. No more excuses. The legal precedent is set. 🎙️ An upcoming podcast will break down this case. #literacynow #dyslexia #reading | Parents for Reading Justice

In Mississippi — the state that leapfrogged 40 spots in NAEP 4th-grade reading — the first investment is coaching, then PD in the science of reading. Coach teachers to do it right. Teach everyone why it matters. That’s how every child learns to read. #literacynow #dyslexia #reading | Parents for Reading Justice

Dyslexia affects up to 20% of kids — the most common learning disability. And only 1/3 of students read at grade level. So why are only 28% of Colleges of Ed teaching all five components of evidence-based reading instruction (NCTQ 2023)? We can’t fix reading if we don’t fix teacher prep! @NCTQ @RoomToRead @UnderstoodOrg @DyslexiaIDA New NCTQ data drops 2026.

🚨 Some colleges of education never teach future teachers about dyslexia—or that EVERY child can learn to read with the right instruction. That means every year, new teachers graduate believing some kids can’t learn to read. That’s not just neglect. That’s a crime! #literacynow #dyslexia #reading | Parents for Reading Justice

Because most colleges of education still ignore the science of reading, brave teachers are forced to teach it in secret—risking reprimand for doing what’s right for kids. And parents? Too often, they know more than their own districts. Colleges of Education, wake up! The science is clear. The time is now! #literacynow #dyslexia #reading | Parents for Reading Justice

At the Reading League conference last year, I met Hilderbrand Pelzer III and he shared a story that still haunts me: a young man on death row whose final wish was to learn to read so his mother would know he was a good man. We cannot underestimate the power of literacy. Literacy is dignity. Denying it has consequences we don’t like to face. #literacynow #dyslexia #reading | Parents for Reading Justice

Failure is not an option! Want to know why so many kids can’t read? Most Colleges of Ed are STILL ignoring the science. Teachers are left to figure it out on their own—and when they do, they ask, ‘Why didn’t anyone teach me this?’ Come on, Colleges of Ed—DO YOUR JOB! #reading #education #dyslexiasupport #fightback #students | Parents for Reading Justice

Living in an affluent district doesn’t mean your kids will be taught to read. It often just means parents can afford tutors or hire lawyers to push for private placements. High test scores mask the truth: wealth ≠ literacy. Meanwhile, districts with fewer resources—like Steubenville, OH—are proving extraordinary results are possible when schools follow the science. Zip code is not destiny. Parents must be alert, informed, and vocal! #literacynow #dyslexia #reading | Parents for Reading Justice

🔥 Funding for CRUCIAL literacy research has been cut. Harvard’s Dr. Nadine Gaab (@gaablab) just showed we can spot signs of reading struggles as early as 18 months. That means we can HELP kids before they ever fall behind. Cutting this funding isn’t just bad policy. It’s cruel. 🚨 #literacynow #dyslexia #reading | Parents for Reading Justice

Colleges of education are the ONE stakeholder that should be following the science of reading and preparing teachers to actually teach kids to read… and too many are failing. Some teachers are paying out of pocket for real training. That’s unacceptable. What are colleges of education doing?! Shout out to Morgan State University for earning International Dyslexia Association accreditation. Hire your teachers from there, people!!! #literacynow #dyslexia #reading | Parents for Reading Justice
