Thanks Dan for coming to the rally and raising the community awareness.

It should be noted that I have written asked for Dyslexia Awareness to be mentioned in our schools and directed my correspondence to many like Commissioner Gist, Superintendent Lundsten and newly appointed Director of SPED in Cranston, Michelle Simpson, etc. however….sadly, none of these recipients have responded.

Thank you to all students that came out, especially Cranston West's class that worked on flyers.

Dyslexia is not reading backwards. Dyslexia is not a disease! The word dyslexia comes from the Greek language and means poor language. Individuals with dyslexia have trouble with reading, writing, spelling and/or math although they have the ability and have had opportunities to learn. Individuals with dyslexia can learn; they just learn in a different way. Often these individuals, who have talented and productive minds, are said to have a language learning difference.

Get the Label of Dyslexia. Why? THAT drives the remediation of evidence based decoding programs. It helps your child understand and be able to assimilate with those of us that are. Here is a great website for more information: http://www.readingrockets.org/article/dyslexia-beyond-myth
