" This Handbook describes what dyslexia is and what it looks and sounds like when a child is experiencing difficulties in learning to read. It addresses how to screen for dyslexia and how to systematically improve reading skills instruction, while ensuring each and every child has access to individualized supports if the system is not meeting their needs.

What is dyslexia?
Quite simply, dyslexia is a learning difference. Children with dyslexia have difficulty learning to read, write, or spell in spite of having normal or above-average intelligence. According to Drs. Brock and Fernette Eide, researchers and authors of the book The Dyslexic Advantage, people with dyslexia often show special talents in areas of art, music, and sports. They typically have difficulty learning to read, write, and spell through traditional teaching methods. What works best is a multi-sensory approach which incorporates touch, hearing, vision, and movement. With appropriate instruction, people with dyslexia can learn to read, write, spell, and excel in school.
