Abstract
Dyslexia is one challenge that can impact students in all areas of education. It is important to first understand the definition of dyslexia. According to the International Dyslexia Association (2017), “dyslexia refers to a cluster of symptoms, which result in people having difficulties with specific language skills, particularly reading. Students with dyslexia usually experience difficulties with other language skills, such as spelling, writing, and pronouncing words” (p. 3). Classroom teachers and administrators need to have a clear understanding over the topic of dyslexia as well as support that can be offered to students.
The presenters will share projects with resources and activities that educators can bring into their own classroom. Numerous resources and tools that can be embedded in the classroom setting will be shared. In addition, we will be sharing information that is helpful for educators and parents as they work with students with dyslexia. As former educators in the K-12 setting, we have seen the benefits associated with increased support for student learners. While the target audience for this presentation is elementary educators, activities can be adapted and enhanced for older grades. Educators in higher education can also attend and share content, knowledge, resources, and materials with the students in their classrooms.
