It’s Dyslexia Awareness Month!

Personally, I feel this awareness should be 365 days/year, but I’m glad there’s a bigger push to get the correct information about dyslexia to the public in October each year.

I couldn't let the month of October slip by without acknowledging Dyslexia Awareness month. The state of Indiana is making great strides in identifying and providing the appropriate help to the dyslexic students in grades K- 2, but there's still a lot more work to be done!!

Henry Winkler is 100% correct..."How you learn has nothing to do with how brilliant you are!!"

Kelly Clarkson, 40, talked to Henry Winkler, 77, about how her daughter, River Rose, 8½, is impacted by dyslexia, which the actor also lives with.

This is so true!! I have had parents bring me their child's writing samples for me to evaluate and many times it includes spelling words that have had to be written several times in order to "practice" spelling them. Most often, I will see the same spelling word misspelled in different ways on the same paper. Here's a thought...why not teach spelling early on?!? There are actually some rules to our English language, so by teaching them, students won't have to do tedious writing of the same word over and over....which NEVER works to improve their spelling.

I love this graphic from Learning Ally for many reasons...

1. It focuses on dyslexic strengths, not just the weaknesses

2. It neatly and quickly summarizes so much valuable information

3. It concentrates on the most effective ways to help dyslexic students, which after all is the most important thing...helping them!!

I love this graphic that Dyslexia Quest created! These are some of the reasons why I tell schools that they need to invest in their dyslexic students...their potential is limitless if we can identify them early and get them in an EFFECTIVE intervention!!!!

This is an emotionally touching documentary about individuals with dyslexia and their families. I sincerely hope that all the higher ups at teacher universities watch this documentary because it is essential! They need to stop standing in the way of the science that proves how to effectively teach dyslexics to read and start being part of the solution!! I one day hope that all teachers will have this knowledge so the dyslexic children will no longer have to suffer.
