Listen Later

Did you know that October is Dyslexia Awareness Month? For us, dyslexia is a major part of our everyday lives. We talk about dyslexia all year long! 

In this episode, we discuss why social-emotional learning really needs to be a part of dyslexia instruction. We cover common myths about dyslexia, current data about dyslexia and literacy, some signs of dyslexia by ages and stages, and action steps you can take today!       

We’ve got lots of information and resources to share. Let’s dive in!

Resources mentioned in this episode:

8 Different Ages and Stages of Emotional Development

US Department of Education Letter on Dyslexia
