Perfect timing. The NAACP safeguarding all kids "Right to Read" comes at a time when our country could REALLY use something to come together and rally around. Thank you!

We were thrilled to host a recent screening of @RightToReadFilm alongside @NAACP and #District29. The film shares the stories of an activist, a teacher and two families who fight to provide our youth with a foundational indicator of life-long success: the ability to read.

Being a library worker is "no easy feat in a world where book bans are on the rise and libraries are being forced to do more with less—including here in New York City, where public libraries are facing a staggering $58.3 million proposed budget cut." – @levarburton
On this #LibraryWorkersDay, LeVar Burton is asking you to join him in supporting New York City’s public libraries. Add your name to a letter of support and tell City leaders: #NoCutsToLibraries! Sign a letter and save a library: nypl.org/speakout

The Love of Reading starts with being ABLE to read. Here's my girl saying, "I love it." She was reading illustrated classics, with flair, by 4.
But a great fdn isn't enough. Balanced Literacy, with Skippy Frog, stole her love of reading like a thief in the night.
Stay vigilant

I consistently helped children learn to read, but only 1 person ever asked me how.
We turned around the lowest school in the district, nobody has ever asked how.
Never underestimate the level of distraction in many systems. You have to repeatedly guide people 2 study success
