Reaching Every Reader: NYC Literacy Summit

12/8/2021

 
On December 9th, as City leaders prepare for the transition to a new administration, the ARISE Coalition, the NYC Department of Education, and Advocates for Children of New York (AFC) are jointly hosting a Literacy Summit to build a shared vision for universal literacy. 

Improving the quality of literacy instruction is a matter of racial, economic, and disability justice. Literacy is the foundation for all future learning and essential for full participation in civic life. Yet more NYC students are reading below a basic level than are reading proficiently, and disparities by race, disability, language, and housing status are alarming.

We hope you'll join us as we bring together diverse stakeholders and experts from around the country to explore current challenges in reading instruction, strengthen our commitment to advancing equitable outcomes for all students, and plan for the future.
