Teachers, we know how hard you work for your students:

The many hats you wear, the positive relationships you nurture, the constant decision-making you do, the ongoing learning you embrace, the time you have invested into making spaces and lessons reflective of your students’ needs and interests.

The International Dyslexia Association (IDA) affirmed today that dyslexia, a reading disability, is entirely unrelated to a person's intelligence or cognitive potential. Dyslexic individuals possess the capacity to think, lead, and achieve at the highest levels, and countless have gone on to accomplish extraordinary achievements across every field.

IDA stands firmly in support of dyslexic learners by advancing evidence-based reading instruction grounded in the science of reading, while also championing the unique strengths, resilience, and potential that define this community.

“Teaching all essential components of language, reading, and writing takes time. There are no shortcuts for overcoming huge and chronic gaps in skill development and reading experience.” — Louisa C. Moats, Ed.D., “Teaching Adolescents to Read”

Dr. Moats reminds us that supporting adolescent readers requires patience, precision, and evidence-aligned practice.

The Reading League’s Adolescent Reading Intervention Evaluation Guidelines offer a clear framework to help educators and leaders make informed, evidence-aligned decisions about adolescent reading interventions.

⬇️ Explore this resource in The Reading League Compass and learn how to make data-informed decisions that meet adolescent readers where they are.
