Why are so many children struggling to read—and what can be done about it?
Despite billions being spent on education, literacy rates in America continue to decline. Former teacher-turned-reading specialist Sarah Gannon and her son, Nolan, share their personal journey—how Nolan struggled with reading despite years of school intervention, and why Sarah left the classroom to advocate for change. Dr. Kevin Williams, a veteran principal, explains why his school is seeing major improvements by incorporating the science of reading. And former Department of Education press secretary Angela Morabito exposes the policies she says are failing millions of students. Dr. Phil breaks down the reading crisis, the debate over how students are taught, and what parents need to know to ensure their children don’t get left behind.
