Did you know…

Reading Proficiency Scores are down 23% since COVID.

Math Proficiency Scores are down 50%.

BUT, writing scores were never recalculated.

WHAT?

Yeah, and what’s even more appalling is that in 2017 Writing Scores for 4th graders were 75% at the BASIC, not Proficiency, the BASIC level.

Why isn’t that tidbit of information getting to the Press? 

Right now, during the 2023-2024 School Year, we have a chance to change that!

Are you with me?

Now that Structured Literacy is in place…

How are you preparing yourself for the needs of written expression challenges?

Structured Literacy reading programs must be

How do you know which programs align with the new Structured Literacy programs? 

Which program helps students with dysgraphia overcome their written expression challenges?

But what are the Regulations?

Here’s what the Bill Summary says:

21st Century Dyslexia Act

This bill addresses the education of children with disabilities, with a particular focus on children with dyslexia.

Currently, dyslexia is listed as one of the disabilities under the definition of specific learning disability in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). This bill instead removes dyslexia from the definition of specific learning disability and establishes a stand-alone definition for dyslexia within IDEA.

Specifically, the bill defines dyslexia for purposes of IDEA as an unexpected difficulty in reading for an individual who has the intelligence to be a much better reader, most commonly caused by a difficulty in the phonological processing (the appreciation of the individual sounds of spoken language), which affects the ability of an individual to speak, read, and spell.

Additionally, the bill requires a local educational agency or other agency, in determining eligibility for or providing an accommodation or service under IDEA, to provide equal access to (1) children from low-income families or from families with low socioeconomic status, and (2) other children.

Is your staff trained in all areas of SLD or just reading?

Is there a formal handwriting program in your school?

How does it sync with your Reading Program?

What people are saying about me…

Now look, I get it…

You are tired.

You already have too much to do and implement on a daily basis, and there are a whole lot of moving parts in dealing with dysgraphia.

Wouldn’t it be great if you could just download this information, and it would magically upload into your daily practice?

On the bright side, you don’t need to.

You don’t have to figure out everything at once or overhaul your whole daily routine to increase success for your students.

Every journey is made up of many individual steps, starting with the first one.

I’ll show you one easy-to-implement change…that leads to another.

Every change impacts your students. So does every lack of change.

Will you keep trudging along down a rocky, weed-covered path you know leads to more of the same day-after-day struggle with writing time for you and your students?

Will you allow them to stay on that path, where repeated failures destroy their self-confidence and will affect the trajectory of the rest of their lives?

Or will you take your first step toward more smiles and better results during writing time?

Will you take the first step with them on a beautiful new road toward a better future?

Unless you are willing to commit to trying something new…

Then the time you’ve spent searching for help, and participating in this challenge, are a waste of your time.

But if you are a serious player, someone who’s looking to achieve the “next level” classroom — this challenge will be the one you wish you had learned about last year.
