How do I best support my students with dyslexia during this time of social distancing during COVID-19?

A 12-year old child with dyslexia shares his perspective and suggestions on making "March is Reading Month" more inclusive and fun.

What books are age-appropriate for explaining to elementary schoolers that accommodations are essential to help them be successful at school with dealing with dyslexia?

What is going on in Mississippi? In 2013 the state began making big investments in training its teachers in the science of reading. And the investments seems to be getting results.

I've just changed jobs from classroom teacher to assistant principal. Part of my responsibilities is with our child study team. We have a young man whose parents believe that he is dyslexic and when his mom talked to the pediatrician was told that testing can be done at school. When I checked in with my special education experts, they said that we do not do dyslexia testing. They can check for a learning disability, but apparently, they don't definitively say dyslexia. I am at a loss for how to direct this parent.

I am the mother of a first-grade child who recently was diagnosed with dyslexia. What are the best options/tools/technology/advice to help him? I would be grateful for any help.

Does my child need an IEP with regards to tests & quizzes?

The school team planned to do the WJ (w/ the cognitive section) and the Feifer again to compare from his baseline assessment. I didn’t see the Feifer mentioned in your recommended tests, so I wondered if there is a better choice.

I have a teen who has dyslexia and has an IEP in public school. My child is getting straight A's and B's in all classes, except for Spanish. I am struggling with the school to implement the correct accommodations for Spanish, as well as to provide my son with the accommodations that are in his IEP. I am looking to get some ideas for other accommodations to make him successful to at least get a C in the class. He gets all A's on his coursework but fails every single assessment.

I support the special education teachers and students in our county. I am trying to learn more about dyslexia so we can improve our instructional practices. The question I am not finding answers to is what format for testing academic areas is the best for students with dyslexia. Our general education teachers are willing to change the way they currently test to accommodate our needs, but I am not sure what the best method is.
