Students at West Newton can earn tiger stripes for demonstrating Tiger Pride! Mrs. Mercer conducts monthly Tiger Prowls. If their tiger stripe is drawn, students can choose a prize. #DecaturProud #TigerPride @Steph_Hofer @StrubeSusan

Dyslexia Awareness Day #2: Wait to fail must end. The myth of the "late bloomer" must end. We must act at the first sign of a reading challenge with evidence-aligned instruction & intervention. Literacy is every child's right but too often we fail them. It must stop.

“Intellectuals solve problems, geniuses prevent them.” Albert Einstein-Here’s to all #literacy allies focused on preventing reading failure through evidence-based practices. Keep letting your light shine in the darkness of a tolerance for reading failure. #Neuhaus #SoR #dyslexia

Screening students for risk of reading difficulty will not only make a difference in their lives, it will lessen the demand for SPED and other supports in school. It will take us one step closer to providing students access to a free and appropriate public education
