Mary and Shannon discuss Dyslexia. There are a lot of misconceptions that are due to lack of training.

However, the reality is that almost 20% of the population struggles with dyslexia and may or may not be formally diagnosed. Find out more about dyslexia and join the conversation. Are you wondering what you can do to keep your classroom "dyslexic-friendly?" We have plenty of ideas!
