    Literacy & Social Justice
    2026/03/15
    In this episode of Literacy Now Together, hosts Brett Tingley of Parents for Reading Justice and Kareem Weaver of FULCRUM talk with Dr. Louise Bay Waters, retired superintendent in Oakland, California, and Dr. Kelly Carvajal Hageman, Chief Academic Officer in Milford, Delaware, about what it takes to move district reading outcomes at scale. Drawing on leadership experience in both a large urban system and smaller rural districts, they explain how sustained literacy gains only became possible with a superintendent who took ownership of literacy as a system responsibility, shielding schools from initiative overload, aligning resources, and protecting the time and focus required for deep implementation. From there, their districts moved from low literacy rates to high-impact classrooms by selecting evidence-aligned core curricula, using formative data to guide instruction, and developing principals as hands-on instructional leaders. The conversation also tackles the controversy over so-called “scripted” programs, emphasizes choosing programs based on results over ratings, and the importance of starting small and scaling carefully to build genuine teacher buy-in. The episode underscores a central theme: literacy is a social justice issue, and durable gains require coherent systems, inclusive and supported Tier 1 instruction, and leadership at every level committed to ensuring all children learn to read.Resources:Open Court- https://www.mheducation.com/prek-12/program/microsites/MKTSP-THA19M01?srsltid=AfmBOorHRMbb2afYKZT31G1cryNrUuSSnT_KmB6uw6qT1tmZcg-fp2g7Bookworms- https://access.openupresources.org/curricula/bookworms-k5Dr. Sharon Wapole- https://www.cehd.udel.edu/faculty-bio/sharon-walpole/Ed Reports- https://edreports.org/Socials:Louise Bay WatersLinkedIn: @Louise WatersKelly Carvajal HagemanLinkedIn: @Kelly Carvajal HagemanX: @CarvajalHageman____________________________________________________________Parents for Reading Justice has teamed up with FULCRUM’s Kareem Weaver to bring you "Literacy Now, Together" — a podcast mini-series that takes a closer look at the reading crisis and explores real solutions with literacy leaders and families across the country.

    Dyslexia, Race, Power and Advocacy
    2026/02/05
    In this powerful episode of Literacy Now Together, Brett Tingley of Parents for Reading Justice and Kareem Weaver of FULCRUM sit down with Winifred Winston and LeDerick Horne, co-hosts of the Black and Dyslexic podcast, for an unflinching conversation about dyslexia, race, power, and advocacy. Winston and Horne share how the Black and Dyslexic podcast emerged from lived experiences and a lack of representation in the dyslexia advocacy movement, and why centering Black families is essential to dismantling stigma and low expectations that too often harm Black children. Together, the guests and hosts explore the realities Black parents face navigating schools, IEPs, and special education systems; the importance of culturally grounded storytelling and community-specific outreach; and what true partnership looks like beyond good intentions. The episode underscores that literacy justice requires intentionality in teacher preparation, curriculum, leadership, and inclusion, and also that dyslexia awareness, when paired with evidence-based instruction and authentic partnerships, can be a powerful lever for healing families and transforming schools.About Winifred WinstonBlack & Dyslexic Podcast https://rss.com/podcasts/black-and-dyslexic/Dyslexia Word Search Puzzle Book https://a.co/d/7XUGEG1Dyslexia Advocation, Inc https://www.soallcanread.org Follow us on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/soallcanreadhttps://www.instagram.com/blackanddyslexic Founding Board Member: The Institute for Black Literacyhttps://blackliteracymatters.orgSEE US - Special Education Excellence for Underserved Students. https://www.seeusadvocacy.org/ About LeDerick HorneLeDerick’s website:https://lederick.comLeDerick’s new video course for families and educatorshttps://lederick.com/courses/LeDerick is co-founder and board chairman at “All In for Inclusive Education”https://www.allinforinclusiveed.org/The book LeDerick co-authored: “Empowering Students with Hidden Disabilities: A Path of Pride and Success”https://a.co/d/iE2n1Hh Socials: Instagram: @blackanddyslexic X: @soallcanreadFacebook: @soallcanread (Dyslexia Advocation)LinkedIn: @ Dyslexia Advocation IncResources:Black and Dyslexic podcast websitehttps://www.soallcanread.org/b-a-d-podcast.htmlOn Apple Podcastshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/black-and-dyslexic/id1588272642___________________________________________________________Parents for Reading Justice has teamed up with FULCRUM’s Kareem Weaver to bring you "Literacy Now, Together" — a podcast mini-series that takes a closer look at the reading crisis and explores real solutions with literacy leaders and families across the country.

  • When do I Take Action When It Comes to my Child’s Right to Read.

    When do I Take Action When It Comes to my Child’s Right to Read.
    2025/12/24
    In this timely and hard-hitting episode of Literacy Now Together, hosts Brett Tingley of Parents for Reading Justice and Kareem Weaver of FULCRUM are joined by parent advocates Lindsay Nofelt and Niki Sidler Richardson for a powerful coast-to-coast conversation on dyslexia, accountability, and the growing role of the courts in enforcing every student's right to learn to read. Drawing from landmark legal cases in California and Tennessee, the guests examine how school systems have promoted students without teaching them to read, how assistive technology and accommodations can mask, rather than remediate, reading failure, and why precedent-setting rulings matter for families, educators, districts, and colleges of education alike. Together, they unpack the tension between ideology and evidence, expose how inequities are reinforced by ineffective literacy instruction, and argue that reading is not a political issue but a civil right, one that demands urgency, fidelity to research, and unwavering accountability to children and their futures.RESOURCESReading For Berkeleyhttps://www.readingforberkeley.org/Berkeley Parents Unionhttps://www.berkeleyparentsunion.org/Berkeleyside articlehttps://www.berkeleyside.org/2023/06/01/opinion-actions-reading-successEdSource article - TN Dyslexia Alliancehttps://www.tndyslexiaalliance.com/ClarksvilleNow.come article, 'This kid can't read'https://www.tndyslexiaalliance.com/SOCIALSLindsay:Facebook- @read4berkeleyInstagram- @read4berkeleyLinkedIn- @Reading for BerkeleyX- @read4berkeleyNiki: Facebook- @Niki-Sidler-RichardsonInstagram- @tndyslexiaallianceLinkedIn- @Niki Sidler RichardsonX- @NikiSidlerCALT____________________________________________________________Parents for Reading Justice has teamed up with FULCRUM’s Kareem Weaver to bring you "Literacy Now, Together" — a podcast mini-series that takes a closer look at the reading crisis and explores real solutions with literacy leaders and families across the country.
