Help Preserve Funding for Comprehensive Literacy

Take Our Poll!

Students with LD who leave high school and enter the workforce need to remember that:

	LD is not something to hide or be ashamed of
	Disclosing LD will be necessary to get needed accommodations
	Co-workers, supervisors and bosses may not have accurate information about LD and may attribute any struggles you experience are due to sloppiness or lack of effort
	While there is no “IEP” at work, you have rights and protections under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
	All of the above

About the Issue

The House of Representatives is working to preserve funding for Striving Readers, a critical literacy program that will help millions of students with LD.

Striving Readers is the only targeted federal literacy funding for birth through grade 12 teacher professional development and research-based interventions for students who cannot read and write well enough to progress in school through graduation.

Time is running out and your action is urgently needed to support the funding of $183 million to this vital literacy program.

Update: This action alert is no longer active. Thanks for participating.
