Unraveling Dyslexia: A Closer Look at the GaDOE Dyslexia Videos (#2 Reading Development & Dyslexia)

The four-part GaDOE Dyslexia Video Series was developed through a partnership between the Georgia Department of Education and the Mary Frances Early College of Education at the University of Georgia. In each webinar, The International Dyslexia Association Georgia, The Reading League Georgia, and the Georgia Department of Education have partnered to bring you four live webinars during which Dr. Sayeski will “unravel” the content presented in each video. Dr. Sayeski and Dr. Lindstrom will then answer questions to further clarify the information presented and provide guidance on how best to support students with dyslexia in the school setting. “Reading Development & Dyslexia” is the second video in the series. This video examines the relationship between reading development and dyslexia. Three questions are addressed: How do individuals learn to read? What is the relationship between instruction and students’ reading outcomes? And why do some students experience persistent difficulty in learning to read?
