Dyslexia is not a lack of intelligence; itโ€™s a difference in how the brain links sounds, letters and patterns. Many struggles are practical โ€” matching symbols to sounds, holding visual sequences in mind, or rapid naming โ€” not a reflection of ability. Decades of research show dyslexia is multifactorial, and support strategies can unlock enormous potential.

@MichiganCJ kia ora from New Zealand. I have recently started my own exploration of the Science of Reading, hoping we do some PD as a school too. I have dabbled with a few attempts at phonics lessons with my 9-11 year olds and they seemed very interested. Hope I can learn more ๐Ÿคฉ

Vulnerable students including FN schools in #bced must follow the evidence: structured, explicit, scaffolded using indigenous content. Dyslexia Canada spotlights problems across Canadian schools but also successes for FN schools. https://youtu.be/Dj2R3JDsOHQ #bcedchat #RighttoRead #bctf #OHRC #structuredliteracy #dyslexia #udl

Hi! I'm Sarah & I'm a current special education teacher for 4th and 5th graders (12th year teaching) pursuing a second Master's in Reading, so I can get my reading specialist cert and also become a Dyslexia Interventionist through CERE. Passionate about books, reading, geeky things (ala Supernatural, Stargate, etc.), cross stitching, my cats, and my students. #education #specialeducation #structuredliteracy #books #bookstodon #teacher #geek #fandom
