We need teaching colleges to train teachers before they let them loose on students.

This is for my beautiful daughter who is having her toughest school year so far. We have a program in place designed for children with dyslexia. Unfortunately this year the gap has grown bigger because the teacher using the program has not been certified and is not teaching it correctly. My soon to be fifth grader is still reading at the beginning of 3rd grade. She brings home her graded homework with 40's to 60's on them. Because we aren't closing the gap on her reading she is now falling behind on everything else. She is starting to do everything in her power to not go to school. I can't imagine how frustrating her school days must be.

So needed. NY should lead this march to help the many children diagnosed with dyslexia and have no support system.

For my son and others like him who go undiagnosed for so long, thus thinking they are dumb or are failures.

This is for my son, Nicholas, who has been struggling every year. He's in 5th grade and he's frustrated and tired. We need change so our kids can get the education they deserve.

I completely support this movement. As a reading specialist, I witness daily, to no fault of their own, teachers that do not have the necessary training to intervene with evidence-based strategies to support struggling readers.
