My Students

Research from the National Institutes of Health indicates that 1 in 5 children struggle with reading despite having average to superior intelligence. That means that in every classroom in the United States there are between 2-4 children who need help with reading, writing and/or spelling.

I'm excited to say that I just accepted a new position as a Coordinated Early Intervening Services Specialist in my district.

I will serve students grades K through 12 identified with Dyslexia and Specific Learning Disabilities in reading. My role will be to determine how to implement appropriate methods to screen, identify, and remediate students most at risk for failure and provide interventions, ongoing evaluation and progress monitoring.

My Project

Using a multisensory approach to building word recognition and decoding skills benefits children with dyslexia. The materials I asked for in this project will allow my students to see letters visually, hear their sounds auditorily, and feel and build with them tactilely. Children with dyslexia benefit from using tools and strategies that encourage them to focus on one letter, one letter combinations or a single line of text at a time, that is why I am asking for student kits which include blending boards, sand, trays, crayons as well as alphabet, phoneme grapheme cards and Sound It Out CD.

A new Carnegie Mellon brain imaging study of students with dyslexia shows that the brain can permanently rewire itself and overcome reading deficits, if students are given 100 hours of intensive remedial instruction.

"This study demonstrates how remedial instruction can use the plasticity of the human brain to gain an educational improvement," Marcel Just, director of Carnegie Mellon's Center for Cognitive Brain Imaging. We need your help getting started. All You Need Is Love..to change the world.
