Why should you attend?
Dyslexia is widespread—but often misunderstood. Even in the field of education, where we encounter dyslexia every day, misconceptions abound and it’s not always easy to tell fact from fiction. These misconceptions spread among schools, districts, and families.
What does the research actually tell us about dyslexia? To find out, join a special NWEA® webinar with Tiffany Peltier, PhD, who will debunk some of the most common misconceptions around dyslexia and discuss the high-quality screening tool available in MAP® Reading Fluency™ with Coach. You’ll even have time to ask your own questions. Dr. Peltier is an experienced teacher, instructional coach, literacy researcher, and professional learning designer who recently edited the International Literacy Association’s dyslexia edition of Literacy Today.
And by the way: October is Dyslexia Awareness Month—making it an ideal time to learn more about this critically important topic.
All registrants will receive a link to the on-demand recording of the session.
