PHL GC (V) Giving Circle presents Philadelphia's Early Literacy Crisis: Why Children Can't Read

Our first educational program of 2024 is called Philadelphia’s Early Literacy Crisis: Why Children Can’t Read and will focus on the issues facing our children (3-9) to read i.e. everything from access and poverty to outdated instruction techniques. We have gathered a panel of experts in the field of children's literacy to help us understand these challenges and introduce us to some of the latest solutions. Our panelists are:

Moderator – Maria Toglia, Ed.D. – Educator, Certified School Psychologist and Co-Chair of the Teacher Preparation and Support Working Group for the “Read by 4th” Campaign, promoting teacher training that is aligned with the science of reading.

Lori Severino, Ed.D. – retired Assistant Professor at the School of Education at Drexel University whose field of expertise is working with students with dyslexia.

Rodney Johnson – Principal of the John Moffet School in Philadelphia which has received recognition as a National Elementary Honor Society School.

Megan Zor – Teacher of English as a second Language (ESL) at Moffet Elementary School, who is excited about implementing a new way of teaching her students to read.
Tracie Johnson - City of Philadelphia's Youth Ombudsperson committed to advocating for services and educational opportunities for the children of Philadelphia.
