The Science of Reading and Equitable Dyslexia Practices

The Science of Reading is a body of scientifically-based research about reading and writing and issues related to it. School administrators, teachers, and parents have the unfortunate experience of bearing witness to students' reading struggles. It is critical that all contributors in the process of educating kids are knowledgeable, capable, and eligible to make determinations in order to ensure student success. All students should be taught to read and learning to read is a right afforded to them as people. When a student is struggling, even after all the access and instruction afforded him/her, it is up to a collective group to examine that struggle a bit closer. But what collaborative group determines that access? Who's affordability results in reading proficiency? What are some of those barriers to teaching reading and for student's reading acquisition? Some may view this struggle in silos instead of delving into the complexity that defines our "why."
