Writing and Dyslexia: Overcoming Challenges (5 Hours)
Reading and writing are crucial aspects of student learning and critical life skills. Teaching students to read and write can be layered and challenging, especially since individual learners require teachers to adapt a range of teaching methodologies and approaches.
This online PD course explores how writing challenges in the classroom may show up, including learning conditions (such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyspraxia) that may make it difficult for children to read and write, and a variety of teaching and evaluation strategies that can help all children — regardless of their level —to become competent readers and writers. An incredibly useful resource for teachers everywhere, this course is an invaluable tool for mastery of the art, craft, and science of writing.
Online self-study PD courses help teachers complete continuing education requirements.

I loved the video clip and many of the templates to download are great - easily adapted for many grade levels. By far the most effective lesson was the one where I experienced what it could feel like to be dyslexic and taking notes.Ursula P.
