Empowering Parent Advocacy in the Literary Movement
In the pursuit of ensuring all students receive evidence-based literacy instruction, the power of parent advocacy has emerged as a formidable force within the movement. What does it look like for parents to harness their experience to push for instructional change and robust interventions for reading challenges, like dyslexia — and how can parents be empowered to support literacy instruction in their home? Join a discussion among advocates who have changed state and local policies to increase equitable access to high-quality literacy instruction and implement intervention supports.
