“Mme Lockhart, you’ve inspired me to start a support group for other students, like me, with dyslexia. I wish I’d known this when I was in Gr2 but no one told me.”😢 ~Gr.9 student I’ve spoken to parents. I’ve spoken to teachers. I’ve spoken to principals. I’ve spoken to superintendents. Now, I’m speaking to high school students who don’t know enough about their own diagnosis. Students with #Dyslexia deserve to know there is NOTHING wrong with them. Yet so many feel intense shame or like it’s their fault, they’re just not trying hard enough. Last week, I spoke to a class of high school students and they ALL identified with this infographic. It’s time we educate STUDENTS about dyslexia so they can advocate for instruction that works for them!!! #StructuredLiteracy @reading_league @DyslexiaIDA

Frequently I am asked how to support struggling readers in middle and high school who were: - NOT screened for risk of reading difficulties in the elementary grades - NOT provided with early, evidence-based interventions - NOT provided with #StructuredLiteracy core classroom instruction - NOT taught to read but were given a device instead If you are a middle or high-school teacher, this resource from @MCPER_EDU may be of interest to you: meadowscenter.org/resource/1…
