My latest book for teachers is here!

What is dyslexia? Is it inherited? How is it assessed? And how do I help my classroom students who have it? If you’re a busy teacher in need of concise answers to important questions about dyslexia, this guide is for you! Using an accessible question-and-answer format, it gives teachers up-to-date information on a variety of “need to know” topics, including what dyslexia is and isn’t, the traits of students who have dyslexia, and use-tomorrow classroom adaptations. The guide also gives dozens of instructional activities that teach all children foundational reading skills and are especially helpful to children who have dyslexia. You can a copy HERE!
