Chancellor's Initiatives
NYC Reads initiative, a historic shift in the way we teach NYC school kids to read. NYC Reads will bring science-of-reading and phonics-based learning methods to all public school students, starting with early childhood programs and elementary schools through high school graduation.
The program will be implemented over the course of the next two years and will be split into two phases. Approximately $35 million will be invested next year into training and coaching for teachers to successfully get the curriculum into their classrooms and address their students’ needs. To read more
