This week, I’ve spoken with not one, not two, not three, but four families of children with #Dyslexia. Even with a diagnosis, most parents don’t know the questions to ask their child’s school. It’s hard to advocate when you don’t know what to advocate for.🤔 Families of children with dyslexia need to be informed of what dyslexia is, what it’s not, what instructional approach their child needs to learn to read, and what in-school remediation options are available. I’ve created this resource to support families in my school district this year. Please feel free to share with families in your school community, too! Because informed families are stronger advocates. #RightToRead #StructuredLiteracy

As the parent of a daughter in middle school, this resource hits home. And it should for all teachers of middle school students, too! Check out these 6 strategies for middle school students here: meadowscenter.org/resource/h… @MCPER_EDU

What’s requested by one, may be good for all!! I’ve had a lot of requests lately for the list of resources I share at my Family Literacy Workshops! So instead of sharing one by one, I’m sharing with everyone!! Here are my top recommendations to support families: docs.google.com/document/d/1… @NessyLearning @dyslexiaON @DyslexiaIDA @Parents4RJ

“Research has clearly indicated the critical need to provide high-quality, intensive instructional interventions to students at risk for reading difficulty as soon as possible.” (Snow, Burns, & Griffin, 1998). This article by @janhasbrouck is a MUST-read for all teachers in training in Faculties of Education. Next week, we will be discussing the implications of oral reading fluency for our L2 students. Bridging the gap between the reading research, teacher training, and Faculties of Education programs!! @VIUniversity @AnaVieira21C
