We came, we saw, we SAID DYSLEXIA! Dyslexia Day at the capitol had a HUGE turnout; we filled the Capitol stairs and spilled over into the second floor! Thank you to all the legislators who stopped by to #SayDyslexia and talk about #LiteracyandJusticeforAll with us!

Hey #GaPol! Join us Tuesday Feb 10 for #DyslexiaDay at the Capitol! We have thoughts to share on the new literacy bills making their way through committees. We have lived experiences with the literacy and dyslexia screening, intervention and support programs in GA, so come talk with us on Tuesday!

Join us Tues evening at Central Library in downtown #Atlanta for a screening of the acclaimed doc “Hopeville: How to Win the Reading Wars.” The panel convo led by @missypurcell.bsky.social & featuring Director Harvey Hubbell V & incredible GA educators will be 🔥! ga.dyslexiaida.org/event/hopevill…

“You’re the #1 advocate for your child… don’t ever let your voice be silenced.” - Yvonne Stroud at our bilingual know your rights event this past Saturday. Our interpreter Von Marie was also an MVP! 🙌💙#ParentAdvocate #SayDyslexia #EducationalRights #LiteracyandJusticeforAll

A must read from the @the74.bsky.social “Adopting a new curriculum is only a first step. Real change is like training for a marathon: buying the right gear doesn’t build endurance. Success comes from commitment, coaching, time and deliberate practice.” www.the74million.org/article/trul...

I’m making so many updates to UntilAllCanRead.org including new resources and articles to help you educate and advocate in your local school district and with state policy makers! And I have a new logo! 😍 #ReadingisaHumanRight #LiteracyandJusticeforAll

Good trouble. Necessary trouble. Always.

Thank you @rashaunkemp.bsky.social for standing strong against this unjust withholding of federal funding for after-school and other educational programs!!

I can’t believe it’s been almost a month since #GaLitLink2025 brought educators from across Georgia together for 3 days of learning and growing! These educators inspired me with their love of literacy and their passion for #LiteracyAndJusticeforAll!

Know better, do better! Can’t wait to join educators and literacy advocates from across Georgia at #LitLink this week! I am so grateful for educators who take their precious summer time to continue their learning journey for the benefit of ALL of their students! #LiteracyandJusticeforAll

I’m in awe of this family’s courage to speak out against the painful and unjust discrimination they’ve gone through. Keep speaking truth to power and fighting for systemic change! 💙 Thank you to Andy Perotti for the in depth investigative work you do in sharing these stories!

🚨The State of the People POWER Tour is hitting cities nationwide to build community, share resources, and mobilize our people. This movement? It’s ours—built by us, for us. The POWER Tour is delivering truth and tools where they’re needed most: in our communities, city by city.

Gwinnett County mother Missy Purcell, whose son struggled under the 3 cueing method, called the legislative vote ‘emotional’. ‘We have a law now that’s going to stop practices that hurt our kids,’ she said.” www.atlantanewsfirst.com/2025/04/21/b...

Having a strong support system makes all the difference.” 👏💙💯 I’m so grateful to be a part of this community, supporting one another in our collective advocacy efforts! #LiteracyAndJusticeforAll #SayDyslexia #UntilEveryOneCanRead www.togetherinliteracy.com/blog/the-acc...

#SB93 made it though the Rules committee today and will head to the senate floor for a vote on Thursday!! Vote YES #GApol and eliminate harmful 3 cueing programs in Georgia! Let’s get this bill through on crossover day and then do it all again in the House!!

Parents showed up today to share our lived experiences and impress upon the senate Ed Committee just how harmful 3 cueing is for students in their journey to becoming proficient readers!!! Thank you for hearing us!! Thank you @rashaunkemp.bsky.social for this vital piece of legislation! #GaPol

At the Capitol early enough to see the sunrise this morning! We will be voicing our support for #SB93 and advocating for #LiteracyandJusticeforAll today! #GaPol

GA #HB307 passed the House Education Committee with overwhelming support yesterday! Next stop: Appropriations and then a full House vote! We are still watching, waiting and advocating for #SB93 to be passed out of the committee on the Senate side of things! #HB307 #GAPOL #LiteracyMatters #SB93

Every school in Georgia needs a literacy coach, not just the bottom 5%. #GAPOL this is a must see report on how Marietta City Schools is outpacing the rest of the state by far in reading proficiency! #FundLiteracyLikeYouMeanIt www.atlantanewsfirst.com/2025/02/04/g...

Systemic uphill battle! And our children can not afford to wait. Pls read and share and follow @fulcrumliteracy.bsky.social !!

Yesterday we hand delivered #DyslexiaDay invitations to every representative’s office, even those that were not open… Hope the 4 reps who share this office received their invites!! 😆 #SayDyslexia #LiteracyandJusticeforAll

Dyslexia Day at the state Capitol is Feb 4!! #GaPol policy makers and legislators, please make a plan to join us! We’ll host lunch from 11-1 in CAP230 and with more than 100 parents and students from around the state participating, we’ll be hard to miss! Come say hello and hear our stories.

This week has been a whirlwind of nonstop advocacy with our Decoding Dyslexia Georgia community of parents who are doing tremendous grassroots work to push for change in our state. The state board of education meeting yesterday left us frustrated but resolute in our mission. This is not over.

This snake oil “intervention” program (LLI) not only did *NOT HELP* my young struggling reader but it HURT HIM. It did not teach him to decode, did not give him the foundational skills he needed to build his decoding and automaticity. It taught him to guess. BURN THEM TO THE GROUND.

I’ve said it a thousand times on that other social network and I’ll say it here now too: Heinemann has put profits over our children’s best interests for years and I hope this lawsuit burns them to the ground. www.apmreports.org/story/2024/1...
