Myth #5 for #DyslexiaAwarenessMonth 2020: CHILDREN WHO SPEAK AFRICAN-AMERICAN DIALECTS (OR OTHER DIALECTS) CANNOT BE IDENTIFIED WITH DYSLEXIA/READING IMPAIRMENTS OR SCREENED FOR BEING AT-RISK FOR READING IMPAIRMENTS. This is incorrect. It is of great importance...

Myth #6 for #DyslexiaAwarenessMonth 2020: EARLY SCREENING FOR DYSLEXIA/READING IMPAIRMENTS GIVES STUDENTS A DIAGNOSIS AT AGE 4 or 5 BEFORE THEY CAN EVEN READ. The purpose of early screenings is not to diagnose but to identify children AT RISK for developing a reading impairment

Myth # 7 for #DyslexiaAwarenessMonth 2020: ALL PEDIATRICIANS SCREEN FOR EARLY INDICATORS OF AUTISM, ADHD, AND DYSLEXIA/READING IMPAIRMENTS. Unfortunately not. While pediatricians often screen for autism and ADHD, they don't screen for learning disabilities. Why?

Captain Underpants and Dog Man author Dav Pilkey was diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia when he was a child - and firmly believes that ALL children can fall in love with books. He explains how here: booktrust.org.uk/news-and-featu… #DyslexiaAwarenessWeek

It’s kind of ironic that in balanced literacy young children are given books with phonics patterns they haven’t been taught how to decode yet, and then a couple years later these kids have age appropriate books taken away because they can’t decode the words.

October is Dyslexia Awareness Month

A common misconception is that #dyslexia is just a reading challenge, but dyslexia is also associated with language, spelling, speaking, and writing: u.org/31tqTq1

YES! South Carolina has 4 public charter schools to serve students with dyslexia. # dyslexiaawareness #education #sced
