Capital Region Literacy Panel

Why are so many children struggling to read? Why is it so hard to find teachers or tutors to help when our children in upper grades are not reading at the same level as their peers? Join us for a panel presentation about ways we can help more children learn to read. We will present information about the role of school boards in literacy education, and how they can effect change. A local author will talk about her experiences as someone who has dyslexia, has a child who has dyslexia and wrote about her experiences in a book.  We will conclude with a presentation about community literacy solutions that help librarians empower parents and caregivers with information to help emergent and struggling readers.
