Three Brooklyn schools, P.S. 10, P.S. 39, and P.S. 130, will each receive $40,000 in funding aimed at enhancing literacy instruction and professional development as part of Assembly Member Robert Carroll's Structured Literacy initiative. This funding supports evidence-based reading methods that focus on crucial skills like decoding and comprehension. Carroll, who has personal experience with dyslexia, emphasized the importance of equipping teachers with tools to ensure all students succeed in reading, which positively impacts their academic and mental health. Previous initiatives include laws addressing dyslexia support.
"We've worked with schools as one of our approaches to hone in on early childhood literacy by giving teachers the tools to be better equipped to make sure that all the students in their classrooms become fluent and fluid readers."
"I know this from struggling with dyslexia as a child, how difficult that is in early years, and how that can have a profound effect on a student if they are not given the proper support and instructions."
