Sign Our Letter to Ensure California’s Kids Can Read and Improve Student Outcomes
Make your voice heard and help pass AB 1121, the California Kids Read Act!
Just 4 out 10 third graders in California read at grade level. That number is even lower for low-income students and this trend started well before the Pandemic. The California Kids Read Act will provide teachers with professional development to teach reading through the use of ‘phonics’ like most other states—and the way California’s schools primarily taught reading for over 40 years. Please help pass this critical bill to set our kids up for
success.

Hi, my name is <Full Name> and I’m a voter in <City You Live In>.
I’m calling to ask Education Committee Chair Muratsuchi to help pass AB 1121, the California Kids Read Act.
Students in California have struggled to learn to read for too long. Today, fewer than half of California 4th graders are reading at grade level.
There is now a broad scientific consensus about how to most effectively teach kids to read, and scores have soared in states that have used evidence-based literacy instruction.
California can do the same and I ask that you help pass AB 1121 to set our kids up for success.
Thank you.
