According to recent data, only 37% of Wisconsin third-graders ranked as proficient or better at reading. There has been a lot of discussion nationally and statewide about the ways literacy instruction has been failing kids, especially dyslexic kids, and Wisconsin Act 20 was passed last summer to try to address this issue. Join two dyslexia tutors and former public school educators for a crash course about dyslexia and understanding some important things about the current landscape of reading and reading instruction. Understanding this background will help library workers who want to do more to support all emerging readers, especially those with dyslexia. Look for another webinar in January with some more specific and simple ideas of ways libraries can help kids and families.
Presenters: Orton Gillingham tutors and special education veterans Starla Dixen and Becky Glade
This webinar will be recorded. It provides one continuing education contact hour for public library director recertification.
