“The linchpin is the principal and the assistant principal,” said Wiley Blevins, an early reading specialist who has helped train local teachers. “Them understanding what’s happening, being properly trained and having buy-in.”
He added: “If you don’t have that, it’s going to fail.”

Article:
“The Surprising Obstacle to Overhauling How Children Learn to Read,”
by Troy Closson, New York Times
May 25, 2023 https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/25/nyregion/nyc-public-schools-reading.html “New York is the latest large city to join a national push to change how children are taught to read. But principals and teachers may resist uprooting old practices.”

Wiley W. Blevins
