How can we advocate for regular assessments of phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, comprehension, and vocabulary using valid and reliable assessments? We need to know whether our children are on track to being able to read in the early grades - certainly before grade 3!

Following the money must be done locally. That's where the decisions are made, not at the state level.

While many reading advocates would urge the state to take a leadership role in championing the SOR, there are others who believe that local control should always come first.

Local control is hit and miss. Our vulnerable students deserve to learn how to read by end of third. We need leaders because it is not happening on local level. All students have a right to a free and appropriate education but 60% are not getting that if you include reading as part of an education.
