About the event

The Reading Crisis We Can Fix
Every child deserves the chance to learn to read. But that that expectation is too often unmet.

In 2023, just 40% of Tasmanian students met expected literacy levels, among the lowest results in the country. These children are not compromised by lack of ability, but by the failure of systems designed to support them.

We know how to teach reading. The evidence is clear: high-quality, explicit instruction works, especially for those most at risk. Yet too many children, especially those starting from behind, are being left behind by slow reform and muddled policy. This isn’t just an education problem. It’s a matter of social justice and a public health imperative.

This talk confronts the cost and history of Australia’s literacy failures, calling for evidence-based action to ensure every child learns to read. Because when we fail a child on literacy, we fail them for life.
