2025 Outreach Events

Literacy Rally Day - April 24, 2025

You are all invited to meet with legislators and attend the annual rally on April 24 for a day of educating legislators and celebrating literacy.

Stay tuned to our social media and your email for more details on time and agenda.

Last year Selin, an 8-year-old Reading Center student, attended and spoke at the rally. She bravely stepped up onto a wooden box in order to reach the microphone, and shared what it was like to have dyslexia, and how she learned to read.

It was so heartfelt when she gave advice to other struggling readers. Students are always given the chance to speak at the rally, so encourage your students to think about going and giving voice to this part of themselves, and show, like Selin did, “I have dyslexia and I can shine!” It is a confidence-building experience whether the child speaks or simply attends. If your child is interested in speaking or learning more please reach out to Jamie at jschwaba@thereadingcenter.org.
