Nearly 60% of Massachusetts students in grades 3-8 aren’t reading at a proficient level, with even wider gaps for students of color, English learners, low-income students, and students with disabilities. The Mass Reads Coalition set out to change that—and we’re proud to share that it was named the 2026 Game Changer Campaign of the Year at this year’s @PIEnetwork summit. Led by @mass_potential, Mass Reads advanced the Right to Read Act and won evidence-based literacy instruction for Massachusetts students. The law sets new statewide standards for K-3 reading instruction, requires twice-yearly screening for dyslexia and reading delays, and makes sure parents know if their child falls behind. Thank you to every partner, parent, expert, and educator who showed up, session after session, to make this law happen. We're grateful to share this win with @EdTrustMA, @Ed4Excellence MA, @ExcelinEd, @Latinos4Ed, @MBAENews, @mass_potential, @teachplusMA, and @mass4charters. 🎊

We're grateful to share this nomination with @EdTrustMA, @Ed4Excellence MA, @ExcelinEd, @Latinos4Ed, @MBAENews, @mass_potential, @teachplusMA, and @mass4charters. 💪
