Dyslexia Video Follow Up-From T .Miller
Hi everyone,
Here’s a quick reminder to think through your class lists as you refer to the ‘Clues to Dyslexia’ document that’s attached. Based on research and statistics for a campus our size, we have between 50-78 dyslexics at Springridge and are currently only serving 14 of these kids. We are NOT asking you to decide a student is dyslexic based on what you see, BUT we ARE asking that you notice their struggles, strengths and weaknesses. In light of what you DO see as you work with your kids, does it fit the profile described in the document. If so, then the process of meetings with staff and parents needs to begin.
*If a student has been struggling all year, has made minimal progress and this is unexpected compared to other areas of average intelligence, add their name to the list!
The links you need are below. Names of students you are concerned about should be added by Friday, March 24th. Thank you for all that you do! Let me know if you have any questions and have a great week!
