Dyslexia Day New York state, March 4th 2020

Picture

​33 States have literacy laws that support students at risk of dyslexia and those that struggle (52% of 8th graders with English as a first language read well-below grade level and nearly half are functionally illiterate):

What's Happened to NY??
New York is one of only 20 states that lack literacy laws

TO PROTECT A CHILD'S RIGHT TO READ-ALL OF THESE BILLS NEED TO PASS!
Please call your local representatives and ask them to co-sponsor these bills:

New York State Education Law Fails to Define Dyslexia
​ 
The Definition Within NYS Law is Misleading and Counterproductive

Ensure all children learn how to read in our state public schools - sign this petition for the first step. Hundreds and thousands of children across NYS and nationally go through school without learning how to read. Untreated and undiagnosed dyslexia is a social injustice. Its 2019! We know exactly how to treat it - people with dyslexia can become skilled readers...

Define Dyslexia in Education Law

Sign Our petition
Support Assemblyman Fred Thiele's bill to define dyslexia Bill # A07639.
