The Dyslexia Den
Dyslexia Information for Celina ISD Students and Parents
October 2020
Dear Families,
One of the best ways to celebrate Dyslexia Awareness Month would be to do your best to see for yourself what being dyslexic means, and just how much it can impair your abilities to do different things that you usually never think twice about, like reading your favorite social media feed, magazine, or billboard. In addition, feel free to wear RED on October 15th which is World Dyslexia Day to help raise dyslexia awareness and to show the world your support.
Respectfully,
Lei Ann Stovall

The State Board of Education (SBOE) on November 16, 2018, gave final approval to updates to The Dyslexia Handbook—2018 Update: Procedures Concerning Dyslexia and Related Disorders (Dyslexia Handbook). The updates address recent legislative changes and clarify processes regarding identification and services for students, including students with dysgraphia.
The handbook contains guidelines for school districts to follow as they identify and provide services for students with dyslexia. In addition, information regarding the state's dyslexia statutes and their relation to various federal laws is included.
Feel free to click the title above or the button below to download a copy or preview The Dyslexia Handbook.

Tacky the Penguin
Tacky the Penguin, written by Helen Lester, is an enchanting book that shares the value of being different and how to think positively about the lack of "perfection." Tacky's perfect friends find him annoying until his odd behavior saves the day.
