Do you know a student who struggles with reading, writing, and spelling? If you are an educator, the answer is most likely yes. What do you know about Dyslexia? Did you know that 1 out of 5 of our students are Dyslexic and that most are never identified often resulting in very low self-esteem and a much higher risk of dropping out of school? Do you know you have the power to do something about it? Learn the facts about Dyslexia, what the signs are, the importance of early intervention, reading programs that work, effective strategies that will help those with Dyslexia reduce their struggles in school and at home, and so much more. A box lunch will be available for purchase or a map of local restaurants will be available.
