It’s hardly surprising that people with LDs face more mental health challenges due to adverse life experiences. It’s time we address these root causes with empathy and action. We need to tailor our support systems to their specific needs. Hit retweet if you agree!

Benefit to teaching *phonological awareness ALONE*?
Paper by @melissa_stalega with me and others about whether there is a benefit to teaching PA alone...
Basically:
Teaching PA: better PA
Teaching PA WITH letters: better PA AND better word reading.

72% of teachers using EarlyBird identified children at risk who otherwise would have gone undetected.
Our CEO @carlaesmall caught up with @AlexSarlin and @Edtech_insiders to talk about why that early detection matters for preventing dyslexia: hubs.ly/Q02rntpL0
