Almost there! Excited to be heading to IDA Ontario #LitLearn2024 and looking forward to an incredible weekend of learning and connecting with so many others who are passionate about literacy!
What an incredible honor to be able to speak with Laura Casella on Global Montreal this morning about the Dyslexia Canada Educational Excellence Award I received and why I am an advocate for #DyslexiaAwareness & #ScienceOfReading Thank you!
I've completed the 'Overcoming Dyslexia' course via Yale Online! I learned so much about dyslexia and how to support students with dyslexia and their families. Melanie Brethour

Melanie Brethour WE were teaching spelling rules before the 1st WW. Then came along all the nonsense from the US = look-say, multi-cueing, whole language etc. All based on a misunderstanding of orthography & touchy - feely emotional claptrap. Eng ortho is complex discovery methods will not work.
Congrats Melanie Brethour for this well deserved award. You’ve helped support so many educators across the world. dyslexiacanada.org/2024-educator-…
Listening to the incredible Anita Archer and hearing one of my favorite quotes! IDA Ontario #LitLearn2024
Great info. from Melanie Brethour 👏 This is often an area of disability that doesn't get enough attention.
