Working memory's impact on reading isn't direct - it actually shapes the fundamental skills that make us better readers. Interesting how cognitive building blocks work! 🧠📚 sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

My testimony on Dyslexia before the United States Senate… the power of God’s grace cannot be underestimated.. #ZatimaOnBETPlus fans. Dyslexia is real. I struggle to get to where I am, but I got there you can do.

Dyslexia is a life long disability that will impacts students' ability to learn how to read. Ss with dyslexia in secondary grade levels should have access to LEARN how to READ. It's never too late! @NISDSpecialEd @NISDdyslexia

Don't forget how important encouragement is for your students with dyslexia. They need the extra support because learning to read is hard! #dyslexia

NISD's August Elementary Orton-Gillingham training was a blast! Special Ed Ts learned multisensory decoding & encoding instructional approaches to support students identified with dyslexia or other reading deficits. @NISDSpecialEd @IMSEOG

July's training was fun with lots of great interactive learning. 28 Elementary SE Co-Teachers were trained in IMSE's Orton-Gillingham methodology. T's learned how to deliver multi modal reading instruction to develop decoding & encoding skills. Let's go year 2024-25!🤩

Had a great time with our SE ES Co-Teachers Cohort 4. They learned how to teach reading to Ss with dyslexia & other impairments by using the Orton-Gillingham method. It’s going to be a great year! ⁦@NISDSpecialEd⁩

It's not uncommon for students with dyslexia to also have anxiety. #dyslexia

Dyslexia is a lifelong journey. It runs on a continuum of the degree of impairment & may manifest differently depending on the task. People will learn strategies to manage their challenges & get through the bends along the way. @NISDSpecialEd @NISDdyslexia
