One in five students has dyslexia – that translates to 20% of the student population. What might be seen as laziness or acting out in reality is a student inwardly struggling with reading, writing, and spelling. Learn more about why students struggle, what to look for, and how to support dyslexic students in your district with appropriate accommodations and interventions.
This session provided insight into the following:
- Identifying dyslexia that’s hiding in plain sight
- What administrators need to know about supporting dyslexic students through identification, accommodations, and interventions
- Building a district culture to support struggling readers
This webinar will benefit administrators, special education K-12, general education K-12, librarians. assistive technology, and reading specialists.
