To our Long Island Literacy Community,
This Saturday, the Long Island Literacy Coalition hosts its first event: a screening of Let Us Read and a panel discussion, in partnership with EdTrust-New York.
This is a room for parents, educators, and anyone who believes every child deserves to be taught to read. A full room tells our schools and leaders that Long Island is paying attention.
Bring a friend. Bring a colleague.
Help us make our first event one to remember.
Saturday, October 3, 2026

Why This Conversation Can’t Wait
31%
Only 31% of New York eighth graders read proficiently, and that number has barely moved in two decades
70%
70% of New York educators say they received little or no science of reading training in their teacher preparation.
Space is limited, so reserve your seat today and bring someone who needs to hear this conversation. Questions? Just reply to this email.
We’ll see you Saturday!
