Pete Wright presents a Wrightslaw Special Education Law & Advocacy Training ConferenceSpecial Education Law & Advocacy Training Schedule

A reading program needs to be chosen based upon the unique and individual needs of a particular student.

If a child isn’t learning in a particular program, that program doesn’t "work." The school must provide a different program that does work.

The special education law is based on the fact that children learn differently.

In this issue of the Special Ed Advocate you will learn how to prevent reading failure and the importance of implementing research based reading instruction. You will also find a comprehensive list of resources about how children learn to read.

We hope you will forward this issue to other friends, families, or colleagues.
