To get all students to read, @teachplusMA Fellow Jillian Geraghty calls on MA to expand proposed legislation to apply to older students too. "The Legislature should expand the bill to apply through 6th grade, including the accompanying PD for teachers." https://t.co/2LoTb55KfE

#TeacherVoiceRoundUp Making sure all students can read will take more than classroom-level solutions, says @teachplusMA Fellow Jennifer Amento. That’s why she’s advocating for MA to pass science of reading laws to ensure that students can learn to read. https://t.co/priVnCuXhj
