Today's episode engages in a great conversation with Lisa Parnello, the founder of Parnello Education and the host of the podcast, Dyslexia Devoted. 

In today's conversation, Lisa dispels common misconceptions about dyslexia, emphasizing that dyslexia is not a vision problem but a result of how the brain processes language.  She stresses the importance of early intervention and offers valuable insights and strategies for educators, paraprofessionals and parents dealing with dyslexia.

Highlights:

• Emphasis on explicit phonics instruction for all struggling readers regardless of their disability label
• Delay in diagnosing dyslexia until third grade attributed to the "wait to fail" approach
• Importance of  in-depth phonics training for all teachers
• Significance of assistive technology and routines for dyslexic students
• Separation of idea generation and writing execution recommended.
• Validating efforts for dyslexic students and providing specific tools for problem-solving

This episode serves as a valuable resource, fostering understanding of dyslexia and equipping you with practical insights and tools to navigate the challenges associated with it.
