Support Legislative Efforts

We Need your Help!

The children of Illinois cannot wait any longer! We must act now to pass House Bill 4202 (HB4202).

The students of Illinois have a right to learn to read in school. The negative consequences for children who fail to learn to read are well-documented and profound:

  • pervasive academic difficulties

  • higher high school dropout rates

  • lower lifetime earning

  • higher unemployment

  • mental health challenges

  • disproportionate imprisonment rates

HB4202 is important because it amends the school code to include early screening and effective reading intervention to address the inequity in reading instruction throughout Illinois.

WE NEED YOUR HELP to ensure that HB4202 is adopted.

Contact your legislators to garner their support for HB4202 and increase their awareness of dyslexia. Click below for a fact sheet with helpful talking points, or for information on the virtual Legislative Town Hall Meeting on February 28th.
