Sometimes a book just grabs you. Undiagnosed: The Ugly Side of Dyslexia is such a book. For teachers, families, youth advocates, coaches, politicians, school leaders... it's a must. ⬇⬇⬇

The province of Manitoba is doubling math instruction time for Grade 9 students and Education Minister Tracy Schmidt has publicly recognized the importance of math. Hopefully this is the first of many steps to get things back on track. winnipegfreepress.com/breakingnews/2…
