dyslexia

Saturday brought a new adventure in dyslexia presentations for me. I presented for the Parent Awareness Day. Surprisingly, I had a full house for both my presentations with a mixture of parents and teachers. Everyone was engaged and interested in learning more about this learning challenge to help their students or their own children. One mom brought her darling 5th grade daughter who was reciting the lesson components, cards, chants, and strategies right along with me. Actually, my husband was there as my videographer, and he said she was the icing on the cake for my presentation. I thought her interactions were the perfect proof of the effectiveness of the DIP program. I asked her for a quick testimonial about the effectiveness of the DIP training that she's received and she very positively stated how much it's helped her read and learn. That's what training our teachers in the DIP strategies is all about. The payoff is priceless when you see how it empowers these bright, creative students.
