3 Technology Must-Dos for Dyslexia | Dyslexic Advantage Blog

The diocese of Jackson sent this article out to all of the administrators.  bookshare.org sounds a lot like learningally.org, but I am not sure if they have as many human read texts. Please let me know if this site is worth while or better!

My learning ally account is acting up, but I hope to get it fixed soon.

“My teachers won’t let me take a photo of the Whiteboard…(are you serious?)” Yes this shouldn’t happen to students with dyslexia or dysgraphia.

Balancing Ear and Eye Reading | International Dyslexia Association

I know so many of you use audiobooks to help your sweet children.  I found this to be an interesting way of breaking things down.

My personal recommendations are for you to do eye-reading and ear-reading at the same time!  This helps train your word-recognition without the stress of decoding!  Read the book while listening to it on tape, or find an app that highlights the words as it reads to you.

Make-Up Day

Make-Up Day will be held Sunday, October 25th at STA.

It will run similar to summer schedules where I will have your child for 1 hour, and you can take the morning or afternoon session.  If you don’t remember which session to sign up for, please feel free to ask me about it.  This is not mandatory, but if you would like to make-up the day that I will miss for the dyslexia conference, it is an option.

I am looking forward to bringing back wonderful information to share.  I will hopefully update my blog as soon as I get some great info.  I am taking a 2 hour session on the latest and greatest apps!! So look for this to be added to the app page during that time.
