Don't Dysmiss Dyslexia!

At a conference this summer, I asked the NYS Commissioner about NY's commitment to dyslexia as NJ was working on a dyslexia law for the state. He said he was going to look into that NJ law. I sincerely hope he made that effort, and he also becomes committed to this movement. Isn't the goal to get all students reading by 3rd grade and 4th grade. Isn't that where dyslexic students "hit the wall" in their reading? If intervention is provided early on, these students could be reading by 3rd and 4th grade, and we wouldn't have as many middle and high school students reading at the elementary level (which, sadly we have now.) To me, this makes so much sense. With the skills needed to succeed, dyslexic students can better commit to their learning so we can then benefit from all their gifts.

Enough with politics, let's use common sense. This must be passed.

Science is important. Teach children a science based multisensory reading program that will benifit Dyslexic children including mainstream learners.

This is needed! Early detection is essential! Children with dyslexia learn differently and shouldn't be denied a good education. We need this for our kids, they shouldn't struggle! They should feel success!

I had to put my 12 year old very intelligent and very dyslexic child in a boarding school 4 1/2 hours away from home to learn to read. No child should have to leave the home to read, no family should have to carry the burden of that expense.
