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.
