It’s true. Writing it out is always such an impactful way to learn! When you write words out, the brain will more successfully retain what is written. Try it and see!

The Power of Handwriting: Improved Reading, Thinking, Memory and Learning Educators' view: Far from being a relic of the past, writing by hand engages multiple senses at once and strengthens cognitive abilities.

Lol! So true!

What is dyslexia?
Dyslexia is a language-based learning disability. Dyslexia refers to a cluster of symptoms, which result in people having difficulties with specific language skills, particularly reading. Students with dyslexia usually experience difficulties with other language skills such as spelling, writing, and pronouncing words.

This is the new revised definition of dyslexia. 🎉

The national conference is always an amazing experience but yesterday was one for the record books. We were able to experience the new definition being shared for the first time (the previous one shared for feedback was edited).

Thanks to Your Therapy Source for this excellent “reminder” post!

Research shows that handwriting stimulates more complex brain activity compared to typing! Using EEG technology, scientists found that writing by hand activates key brainwaves:

Theta waves: Critical for working memory and learning new information.

Alpha waves: Boost focus and long-term memory.

Typing, with its repetitive finger movements, can’t match the rich experience of handwriting, which involves vision, motor skills, and body awareness. Handwriting isn’t just a skill—it’s a brain workout! 🖋️✨

Learning Abilities provides students, their families, and teachers the tools to teach reading, writing and spelling. There is a vast number of students that need intervention in school and beyond the school day. You can be that help! #

Yes—focus on early literacy. But don’t you dare forget the older kids. 🔥 They were failed by broken systems. Now that we know what works, we have a moral duty to give them structured literacy too. We cannot abandon a generation of children. 📚💔
