🎓 Breaking Down Dyslexia: What Every Teacher Needs to Know (But Was Never Taught!)
Did you know that 1 in 5 students in your classroom may have dyslexia? Yet most of us learned about it in just "two paragraphs" during our teacher training! In this eye-opening episode, we chat with Lisa Parnello, a full-time dyslexia coach who's transforming how we understand and support students with dyslexia.
Key Takeaways: 📚 Dyslexia isn't about seeing letters backward - it's about how the brain processes language 🧠 Three major signs to watch for:
- Phonemic awareness challenges
- Executive functioning struggles (organization, time management)
- Left-handedness (surprisingly correlated!)
🍎 What teachers can do to help students who they suspect may have dyslexia, despite the imitation of resources in many schools.
🌟 Success Stories: Many highly successful individuals have dyslexia, including:
- Steve Jobs (Apple founder)
- Richard Branson (Virgin Group founder)
- Keira Knightley (actress)
