The One About…
The Reading Recovery Lawsuit with Steve Dykstra
The Reading Recovery Council of North America filed a lawsuit against Ohio Governor Mike DeWine. Dr. Steve Dykstra joins us to discuss this breaking news!
We also asked Steve to respond to Bruce Howlett’s revised blog that originally appeared on the Learning by Design website. Howlett and Jan Wasowicz have joined forces to ignite a “Reading Shift” that pulls the best practices from both Balanced Literacy and Structured Literacy. Dr. Steve Dykstra has worked as a psychologist for over thirty years in the public sector. He is a founding member of the Wisconsin Reading Coalition and Vice President of the Coalition for Reading Excellence.

“The Reading Shift – Elevating Literacy Goals, Methods, and Discourse, in Unison”
By Bruce Howlett and Jan Wasowicz, Ph.D.
Memorable Quote:
“We have a choice – continue to debate traditional methods that haven’t produced widespread
and enduring literacy gains or excitedly embrace newer and deeper methods that provide a
path to near universal literacy gains across the English-speaking world.”
