DaytonREAD ~ April Meeting
Posted on: April 15, 2009
Dayton READ will be meeting this Thursday, April 16 from 6:45-8:15 at the Kettering-Moraine Library.
This month we’ll view and discuss portions of the national documentary: Demystifying Dyslexia.
An estimated 10 to 15 percent — one in every 10 Americans — suffers to some degree from dyslexia, an often misunderstood learning difficulty characterized by problems with word recognition and poor spelling. Hosted by Olympic champion Bruce Jenner, DEMYSTIFYING DYSLEXIA profiles inspiring individuals confronting the challenges of living with dyslexia. Compelling personal stories, innovative educational methods and cutting-edge scientific research highlight the important contemporary issues surrounding dyslexia. The program also offers valuable insight into the inner-workings of the dyslexic mind and provides parents and teachers guidance for reaching a dyslexic child.
Welcome 2009!
