  • Summary

  • Teachers are tired and want to be excited about teaching again. Too often, professional development is boring, not substantive, or lacks a practical how-to approach. The Literacy View invites viewers to sit with Faith Borkowsky and Judy Boksner to discuss best literacy practices in easy-to-implement ways. The two women are educators and literacy coaches. Faith and Judy encourage all educators to enter lively discussions about literacy's most pressing issues.

She has over thirty-five years of experience in literacy instruction - as a classroom teacher, reading and learning specialist, regional literacy coach, administrator, and private tutor. Faith counsels and provides professional development for school districts and teachers,
    and offers parent workshops, presentations, and private consultations on science-based literacy practices. She is the author of the award-winning book, Failing Students or Failing Schools? A Parent’s Guide to Reading Instruction and Intervention, and the “If Only I Would Have Known…” series of books, conceived as a roadmap for literacy-readiness and success for parents of young children. Faith regularly blogs about literacy issues and tirelessly advocates for community-based solutions to promote literacy for all children and social justice. She works with school districts and community-based literacy professionals all over the world, and in 2021, Faith was a finalist for the World Literacy Foundation Award for her significant contributions to literacy.
    Faith is honored to have a role in the 2022 feature-length documentary, The Truth About Reading.

    “Does the science of reading include middle school?” –

    Tim Shanahan

    January 6, 2024

    https://www.shanahanonliteracy.com/blog/does-the-science-of-reading-include-middle-school

    Teacher Question:

    What does the science prioritize for middle level ELA instruction? Is there a point when teaching into a phonics gap for students does not have a payoff? With limited time in a middle school classroom, I am thinking about what needs to be prioritized.

    Dawn De Lorenzo Bio:

    I am dual-certified general and special education teacher with 24 years experience. I have taught students from PreK through Grade 8. The majority of the students that I have served throughout my career had language-based learning disabilities such as dyslexia. I am a CERI Certified Structured Language Teacher. I have my MA in Curriculum and Instruction and my Ed.S. in Education Leadership, Policy and Management.

    Last year, I was a Teacher Leader Policy Fellow with JerseyCAN and worked to champion several policies to strengthen literacy in New Jersey. JerseyCAN awarded me with an Excellence in Advocacy Award for my work. I was second place in Nessy's 2024 Teacher of the Year Dyslexia Awareness Award.

    This year I started my own tutoring business, Lighthouse Literacy Solutions, where I can serve students and their families' needs without all of the red tape that entangles educators in public schools today.

    Stacey Klein and Max

    Stacey Klein is a fierce parent advocate who took on Minnesota’s most affluent school district to fight for her son’s right to learn to read. Her son completed 3rd-grade with a Kindergarten reading level. Without her advocacy and intervention, he was on a trajectory to finish 12th-grade reading at a 4th-grade level. Stacey's family navigated years of delays, denials, a due process hearing, and federal lawsuits in the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals, ultimately costing them $300,000 in educational and legal fees. Despite the district’s appeals, her son received all of his court-ordered services, worked hard, is now reading at grade level, and is on track to graduate with his peers. Today, Stacey relentlessly advocates for students with learning disabilities like dyslexia, committed to ensuring no family has tofight the same battle her family did to guarantee their child learns to read in school.
