What steps should concerned parents take if they suspect their child is facing literacy struggles?

Educational advocate Debbie Meyer joins host Dr. Liz Brooke for All For Literacy, Season 3, Episode 4, and provides parents and educators with guidance about how to bring individual and classroomwide change for struggling readers. After advocating for her own child’s education, Meyer became a founding member of the New York Reads Coalition and the Dyslexia (Plus) in Public Schools Task Force.

Meyer shares the strategies she has learned during her own advocacy journey, including:

• The top five questions parents should ask at school
• The surprising reasons students struggle to read
• Outside-of-the-box solutions to improve literacy skills
• How to be an effective advocate

Brooke and Meyer also dive into how Meyer has gone beyond changing the lives of her own child to enact change across her community and how others can do the same. Parents and educators alike will find this episode an inspiring and enlightening look into how to work together to bring change and positively affect student literacy levels.
