Mayor Eric Adams has repeatedly promised a brand-new approach to reading and literacy for students this school year.
“It’ll be terrific,” chimed in Harlem Commonwealth Council Vice President Suzanne Hurley about the coming reading programs. “Students will actually learn how to read. Learning phonics is fundamental for reading and comprehension. They’re learning to break words into smaller digestible pieces for understanding the word and then sentences. It will definitely help students in our community close the gap in education post pandemic.”, a nonprofit charity organization focused on dyslexia.
There is also a heavy evidenced connection between many incarcerated people and those identified as the most educationally disadvantaged population in the country. A joint report from the DOE and Department of Corrections noted that about “half of the individuals housed in jails do not have a high school diploma or general educational development certificate.” And, on Rikers Island about 80% of new arrivals didn’t have a diploma or GED back in 2007.
“New York City schools are making sure every teacher is getting dyslexic training, which is phenomenal because every teacher is a teacher of dyslexic children,” said Griggs. Additionally, ‘at risk’ of dyslexia screening will take place in a pilot program in 80 elementary and 80 secondary schools, said the DOE.
“One year in 3rd grade he had a teacher who took his inability to perform in the classroom that my son was lazy and that he didn’t care about his education and by default that I was not supporting him at home,” said Peña about a white teacher of her son’s. “She completely ignored my son for the entire school year and subsequently whenever she saw my son in the building for the next two years she ignored him as if he was an evil child and that really bothered him.
