What is dyslexia? Why do some kids struggle to learn to read? What is the Orton Gillingham method, and how does it differ from other structured programs, like Wilson? Kristen McShane from The Learning Specialist, LLC joins me to talk about the rules around reading, multisensory approaches, and effective instruction in the classroom and one on one.

This article and a few others had me thinking hard about how to better prepare teachers and help them be more effective.
