House Dems understand not all children learn the same. That's why we’ve passed laws that will help recognize where a child needs extra support, such as those with dyslexia. #WorldDyslexiaDay
With the right tools, every kid can read with confidence! Every child deserves the chance to read and succeed! Our efforts to provide targeted resources for students with reading challenges are helping to break down barriers and give kids confidence in learning and life.
