Reading is for EVERYONE! Reading difficulties, including dyslexia, are often misunderstood, leaving parents and educators speaking different languages. This session bridges that gap!

We will be joined by presenters Rose Kilmurrary, EdD, DPI Special Education Consultant and Tim Peerenboom, DPI School Psychology Consultant.

The flyer with links can be found on our website: www.wspei.org/learning-opp/ongoing-networks/
