Empowering Teachers To Close The Literacy Gap and transform lives
Because our students are counting on us!
Three Reasons The literacy gap remains
Dyslexia affects approximately 20% of the population worldwide
Training in dyslexia allows teachers to identify dyslexia and understand the importance of Structured Literacy
96% of teachers say they received no training on dyslexia during their education programs.
With certification in dyslexia and Orton-Gillingham, teachers will be able to confidently identify and provide targeted intervention for students with dyslexia
Only 2% of general education teachers feel prepared to teach students with dyslexia.
The science of reading has proven that dyslexia can be remediated with proper identification and targeted intervention
The literacy gap will close when we start addressing dyslexia
