Despite being the most common learning disability, dyslexia is widely misunderstood. Shrouded by myths and misperceptions, a lack of direct, practical information on dyslexia leaves many teachers and families frustrated. Well-intentioned teachers tell parents that all kids learn differently and at a different pace, but as the months turn into years, the gap between skilled readers and those who struggle widens. The antidote to wait-and-see and more-of-the-same is information. In this book, Sayeski translates research from neuroscience, cognitive psychology, linguistics, and education into accessible information to help teachers and parents unravel the complexities of skilled reading. Unraveling dyslexia requires an understanding of what it means to read—both the accurate recognition of words and the capacity to bring meaning to those words—and identifying where and how difficulty can occur with these processes. To do this, Sayeski situates the challenges some students experience in learning to read within the context of the development of English orthography (i.e., written language) and the history of reading instruction in the schools. Sayeski, then, presents what reading science has revealed about individual differences in reading. Within the book's final chapters, readers will find practical information on how to provide the type of structured literacy instruction required to put students with dyslexia on the path to reading. This book is designed for teachers, administrators, and parents seeking information that can be immediately applied to improve the outcomes of students with dyslexia or who struggle learning to read. It is never too soon to address signs of difficulty with reading. The aim of this book is to provide readers with the knowledge they need to act now to provide students with the gift of literacy.

Common patterns of strengths and weaknesses in dyslexic people from early childhood through adulthood.

The Big Picture of Dyslexia Many of the components or factors that can affect reading and spelling are overlooked by most authors, such as the impact of pronunciation on reading and spelling, and more importantly the history of the english language and the effect this history has on the structure of our written language and how different readers mentally process "our not so phonetic spelling system." "Dyslexia Reading Success" is designed to help students, parents and teachers to understand literacy issues (Dyslexia) from an historical, educational and developmental point of view. This work takes the personal approach to literacy development, with the students strengths, personal interest and drives at the center.* "Dyslexia Reading Success" introduces readers to technics and strategies to cultivate dyslexic students interest and passion for reading and writing.* Readers are Introduced to 7 brain principles to ensure continued growth and interest for reading and writing.* Introduces readers to 9 contributing factors that can bring about dyslexia (difficulties) with words.* Highlights contradictions in our phonic spelling system that readers face and trip up on. * Highlights habits and activities to support continued growth in literacy and long term personal development.* History, Find out about what the founding Fathers of America had to say about the problem of the phonetic irregularities in the english spelling system and what they planned to do about it.* Learn about the Reading Wars which gave birth to our clinical perspective of dyslexia* "Dyslexia Reading Success", assess's and challenges the clinical interpretations of dyslexia and Establish's the understanding of cognitive diversity as a normal part of mental functioning within society.* Introduces readers to the global/ analogic processing style which is responsible for the special skills and learning style that is associated with dyslexia.* Introduces readers to physical and mental practices to support literacy, reading readiness, over all well being, personal development and much more"Dyslexia Reading Success" is a 21st century educational Philosophy, that empowers parents and teachers to empower students in literacy and beyond. "Dyslexia Reading Success", is more than a one time programme, it offers parents, teachers and students a path to continued growth in literacy and personal development, serving students now and in their future .

Disability, Intersectionality, and Belonging in Special Education focuses on preparing educators who use socioculturally sustaining practices, curricula, and instruction through an intersectional lens. This book empowers preservice students and special education practitioners and administrators to meet the needs of disabled individuals. Understanding the full range of requirements relating to socioculturally sustaining practices is imperative to working with individuals with disabilities as well as with their families and caregivers. Being able to understand and explain this complex issue to others is important and often necessary. Social injustices in special education are historical and systemic. Special education practitioners are typically unaware of the importance of intersectional differences because they have been prepared to address cultural perspectives only during awareness days or through specific units in curricula. At other times they discuss the topic diagnostically—for example, as part of an educational plan or when teaching English as a second language. Other issues stem from the value system of the special education practitioners themselves; some are not willing to engage in these concepts, while others prioritize treating all students the same by using the terms “fairness,” “equity,” and “colorblindness” to justify this treatment. Even when special educator practitioners attempt to address injustices on behalf of their students, they tend to center on only the student’s disability, which means they are ignoring or erasing other aspects of their students’ identities. These concerns highlight the importance of building the sociocultural competence of our teaching force. This book will help practitioners build this competence in their own spheres of influence.

This book is designed to build and enhance educators’ knowledge about decision-making processes, including the use of multiple sources of assessment and data to inform instruction, interventions, services, and supports for all students within a comprehensive system to conduct action research. This resource demystifies, describes, and connects the data-driven decision-making process (DDDM) of action research within a schoolwide multi-tiered system of supports (MTSS) framework, including descriptions, examples, and resources of phases and components of educational solution-finding within our classrooms and schools. Federal legislation such as the 2015 Every Student Succeeds Act requires educators to follow policies and procedures to make data-informed decisions to support and enhance the learning of all students through action research. Action research is directly focused on the ability to connect multiple sources of assessment data with equitable, effective, evidence-based approaches, strategies, interventions, and resources to address and maximize academic, behavioral, and social emotional benefits for students. In addition, acquiring the knowledge and skills of DDDM through the systematic use of action research enables educators to actively participate not only in instructional and intervention decisions but also in the programmatic decisions for the determination of additional services, including special education, within a comprehensive system of school initiatives. A comprehensive, data-driven decision-making process utilizes the knowledge, skills, and phases of action research in classrooms and schools by all educators, including special and general education teachers, school psychologists, and related service personnel, within one system of data use in instruction, interventions, and determination of needed services and supports
