On May 17th we held an interactive discussion on the current realities of learning, and teaching to read in our state, and findings shared in Our Children Oregon’s issue brief on Oregon’s literacy crisis, prepared in collaboration with Decoding Dyslexia Oregon. This conversation included pandemic-related impacts on young learners and what it will take to solve long-standing disparities in literacy rates.
