Life changing
This has validated my family’s experiences and struggles with reading. We’ve been through it all- and was in reading recovery only to be taken out and later put back in— a constant cycle of frustration. We needed help and hired private tutoring. With working class roots, I felt intense guilt and also relief that we could pay for expensive intervention. We were happy to have help and answers. Learning of the failures of these programs added anger and validation to our experience. I am hopeful that this investigation and podcast will continue to change education— it certainly has helped many parents and students. Thank you so very much.
