S2 E7 – Mark it Read – Breaking the Silence: DJ Cunningham, Founder of LEARNstyle Ltd.

Across Canada educators and researchers are working together with the common goal of ensuring that every child can realize their right to read.  Many schools have begun to implement early screening, evidence-informed classroom instruction, and early intervention.  Educators in these schools say that the results of these changes have been transformative, both for students and teachers.  Many more are curious about these practices but are unsure of what these changes look like in the classroom or how to get started.  

In this ongoing series, we share the stories of Canadian educators and researchers who are implementing these important changes. They will discuss both the challenges they have faced and the solutions that have allowed them to move forward and improve outcomes and equity for students.  We hope that this series will encourage a national dialogue about why implementing practices that are aligned with the science of reading is a social justice and equity issue.
