Nearly 90% of students with LD struggle to focus, and too many lack the skills to advocate for themselves.

It’s time we teach self-advocacy to every kid with dyslexia, and train all teachers to recognize and support them as well.

Every classroom. Every educator. Every student. #Dyslexia #EdEquity #SelfAdvocacy #TeacherTraining

Orthographic mapping is how words stick not by memorizing or guessing, but by connecting:

🔹 Sounds (phonology)
🔹 Spelling (orthography)
🔹 Meaning (semantics)

All 3 are needed.

Check out Making Words Stick by Molly Ness & Katie Pace Miles. A must-read for every educator.

Thanks for sharing this. Sometimes teachers feel they can’t work on decoding bc they have to teach “the standards”. Decoding is the route to reading comp. Of course, at the same time, lang. comp. must be taught via read alouds and discussion.

Reid Lyon put together a set of 10 maxims that summarize the most important findings from the "science of reading." There are tons of citations if you want to know more. We link in the show notes. And here:

What do all of these words have in common? They contain a morpheme that means "to look!" The Latin root word “spect” means to see, observe, look, or watch over!
