We Know How to Teach Reading -- So Why Aren't We?

10/26/2017

0 Comments

 
Maryland student reading performance is subpar -- 60% of students read below grade level -- that is 6 out of 10 students.  93% of special education students read below grade level (9 out of 10 students) and these students are not only capable of learning to read, they also supposedly receive "specially designed instruction" to get them to grade level proficiency.

Many Maryland school districts acknowledge that they have a problem with reading and writing literacy and are making changes to inservice teacher training, curricula choices and program purchases for reading.  Other Maryland school districts deny there is a problem and continue to be happy with their students' poor reading performance and high rate of required college remedial reading coursework.

Jeanne Brady Saum​ w/ Decoding Dyslexia MD waited her turn to speak at the 10/25 public meeting and was presenter 58/61. The microphone broke at speaker #56 but she persevered and spoke without a microphone at the end of a very long day.  Her remarks are included here to ensure that she is heard.  #saydyslexia #soallcanREAD
