Reply to comment by BillC318 in We are journalists from EdSource and we want to answer questions on what parents and teachers need to know to help kids learn to read by EdSourceToday

While many reading advocates would urge the state to take a leadership role in championing the SOR, there are others who believe that local control should always come first.

Local control is hit and miss. Our vulnerable students deserve to learn how to read by end of third. We need leaders because it is not happening on local level. All students have a right to a free and appropriate education but 60% are not getting that if you include reading as part of an education.
