For decades, we've had the research, the science, and the strategies to teach every child how to read—so why has it taken so long to put them into practice? 🤔

We dive into:
✅ The biggest myths holding back effective reading instruction
✅ Why Structured Literacy isn’t just for striving readers—it’s for EVERY reader
✅ The movement pushing states and schools to finally adopt science-based reading practices
