Because lawmakers added the $40 million early literacy grant fund to the budget, hundreds of additional schools will have access to the training and staffing support they need to help struggling readers much more effectively. This funding will also help ensure districts can hire reading coaches.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Our work will now shift to supporting the implementation of this landmark legislation, which should lead to tens of thousands of struggling readers in our state getting the support they need much earlier in their schooling experience. Additionally, this will provide the tools educators have long been looking for to teach literacy much more effectively. &nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you want to learn more about the Science of Reading, <a href=\"https:\/\/stand.org\/indiana\/science-reading-resources\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">visit this page.<\/a> To read why Natalie advocated for the passage of HEA 1558, <a href=\"https:\/\/stand.org\/indiana\/too-many-indiana-kids-cannot-read-this-bill-can-help\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">read her blog.<\/a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>While our team was proud to play a significant role in shaping this legislation, we\u2019re so grateful for the partnership and support of advocates from the dyslexia community, as well as numerous non-profit organizations working in K-12 education.
