Read by 4th Virtual Lunch and Learn: What’s in the READ Act – Nov 5
Posted by Read by 4th on October 20, 2026
Making Sense of the New Federal Literacy Policy – A lot is changing in the world of literacy policy.
The READ Act, bipartisan federal legislation designed to strengthen literacy instruction through the Science of Reading, is the latest chapter in that story.
Join us for a conversation with Lori Masseur, Early Learning Director at Read On Arizona and passionate literacy advocate, as we unpack the READ Act in plain language. We’ll explore what it does, why it matters, and what it could mean for literacy systems across the country.
We’ll bring the conversation home, exploring how the READ Act intersects with Pennsylvania’s literacy policies. Then wrestling with a tough question: What happens when big literacy policy meets the realities of implementation?
DATE: Thursday, November 5, 12:00-1:00 PM (Zoom link sent upon registration)
