Educate Yourself
Tutorials
Listen to my soothing voice as I walk you through What dyslexia is, what causes it, and what the effects are.
Understanding Dyslexia is just the first tutorial in the series. You can find a wealth of information in these in a relatively short amount of time.
This is actually called Families and Schools Partnering for Children's Literacy Success and there are 2 pathways - one for families and one for educators.
Maybe this will be good? I'm about to find out - over the next several months because it's like 12 hours long!
Podcasts
I'm linking this, particularly, to Trauma and Reading with Dr. Steven Dykstra. I think it's important to remind ourselves that not teaching children to read is traumatic. Repeatedly denying students access to the accommodations they need is TRAUMATIC. I haven't listened to all of Melissa & Lori's podcasts, but I like what they are dishing up.
Reading Material
by Louisa C. Moats
I bought this one for one of my son's teachers.
With a Caveat!
I have not read the second edition. And I couldn't get through the first edition until I found it in audio.
You can read the review from someone on Amazon that will explain the reason for the caveat.
