Great reporting CNN!

“I also read this week in the paper: 1 in 3 children in America cannot read at a basic level of comprehension. 85% of Black students lack proficiency in reading skills.” Bill Maher

Couldn’t agree more! There is so much trauma endured by children created by teachers not knowing the Science of Reading because they never learned it in college. Let’s focus on what’s really harming our children - Colleges of Ed keep up with the Science!!!

All Ohio parents should attend this invaluable session with Kerry Agins! We’ll learn what the implementation of the dyslexia law should look like so we can monitor it at the district level. Sign up below! OH-KID

The first bonus episode of Sold a Story is coming a week from today. May 11. Another one the following Thursday.

…Because most Colleges of Education aren’t keeping up with the science. Colleges of Ed are the one entity that really should be keeping up with the science. Their unwillingness is the root of the reading crisis! Everything flows from there.

More Sold a Story from APM Reports is coming tomorrow. Bonus Episode 1 will be in your feeds in the morning. features.apmreports.org/sold-a-story/
