If you or your child has struggled or is struggling in school to learn to read, for supports and interventions, please consider Joining the Right to Read Manitoba movement. We want your voices heard. Unfortunately, we have been excluded; therefore, Marin's PRinciple was born. Please contact if you are interested in that.

"A quill represents literacy (reading, reading comprehension, spelling, written expression, and math) along with freedom that comes with being functionally literate." For Marin

Marin's Principle - Right to Literacy

Please consider signing and sharing the following petition. Students who struggle due to neurodivergent disabilities deserve instruction and therapy (for mental harm) paid for so that they can become confident, functionally literate citizens.
Select the link below to be directed to the petition. For the petition to be read to you, please select the "Read Aloud" button.
Twila Richards wrote to the MB-HRC in 2020 with a group of concerned parents. This is a parent and individual initiative. They have asked MB-HRC to inquire into literacy in Manitoba, especially for students with specific learning disabilities: dyslexia, dysgraphia, and/or dyscalculia, and autism.
Please note: This is a movement, started by a family who has been harmed. Source any information found through Right to Read Manitoba. Too many are taking information and claiming it as their own; therefore, we are no longer helping people as many are wanting information to assist with financial gain.
On October 21, 2022, the Right to Read was declared in Manitoba. Karen Sharma, A/Executive Director MB-HRC made the announcement and then joined Twila and Marin Richards in the evening to present this unique initiative at the Forks near the Winnipeg sign.
" I have grandchild with dyslexia and autism who are in grade 12. They have not received any specialized help with reading or school work. We feel let down by schools not having teachers with specialized training in the Orton Gillingham methods."
Grandparent
Education is a human right for everyone; all Manitobans deserve the right to be literate."
Twila Richards
We, dyslexic people, all learn differently. It just takes patience and time and more to learn."
Grade 11 Student
So many students with phonological and orthographic deficits are functionally illiterate or literate. The first sentence, “All students have the right to learn to read...” and then having the reading disability voices excluded from this document and having references that encourage doubt about their needs is disheartening. We encourage parents, individuals, and teachers to investigate the references. Teachers, we advocate for you and wish you have a document to help you understand learning disabilities and give you much-needed support. Right to Read Manitoba encourages you to read the links on the reference pages. https://www.edu.gov.mb.ca/k12/cur/docs/guide_principle_approp_read_instr.pdf?fbclid=IwAR1TjRwoipKLh4O_sZIpeejp6R-vN8dCCwCQYHWZe80RMbOhuN21SCHP8_Q
