In this Long Island Literacy Coalition session, we share how parents, educators, and community members can move from awareness to action—advocating for Structured Literacy and holding schools accountable to New York’s new Science of Reading mandate.

You’ll learn:
How New York’s local control structure affects literacy decisions
Where to start building relationships with school leaders and board members
How to use board meetings, letters, and public comment to spark change
What to know before running for your Board of Education
How to spot red flags like curriculum “rebrands” or lack of transparency
Practical summer steps to become your district’s “polite squeaky wheel” for literacy

This presentation empowers parents and advocates with the language, strategy, and confidence to ensure that every child receives explicit, systematic, and evidence-based instruction—not outdated Balanced Literacy practices.
