What if students learned to read and spell the first time we taught them, instead of having a re-do with a program such as Empower?
What if we empowered classrooms with systematic, sequential, explicit literacy instruction for everyone, right from the start? – at London, Ontario

Join us November 17th for a free webinar with IDA Ontario board member, @StaceyRickman!
It is estimated that at least two students in every Canadian classroom has developmental language disorder (DLD). DLD is a condition that can affect a student's ability to read fluently and with understanding. While dyslexia is a learning disability that primarily affects word reading and spelling, DLD impacts other language skills such as vocabulary and grammar. In this webinar, Stacey Rickman (SLP & OCT) will discuss the intersection between dyslexia and DLD, practical implications for today's classroom, and helpful resources for educators.

Ten minutes very well spent if you are a parent, educator, or decision-maker for children. At birth, our brains are wired for language, not for reading. Unlike spoken language, reading must be taught, and some ways of teaching are much better than others. @Suchmo83 explains:
Following a few requests from teachers and school leaders, I've made short video on the key ideas that I think teachers (and parents/carers) need to know about reading development, based on my reading concept map.

Student teachers only answered 60% of phonics questions correctly on survey. "We have to take this seriously. Otherwise, the number of struggling kids will continue to rise, and we will be in front of a literacy crisis very soon," Prof. Georgiou said.
