There's so much to learn.

I'm personally working hard to learn more about dyslexia and ways to help. I suspect a daughter of a good friend has dyslexia. I want to help her the best I can. Many schools don't have resources or knowledge about how to help or make adaptations in the classroom for individuals with dyslexia.

Here are a few more articles worth reading to learn more about dyslexia.

Dyslexia - an article from the Mayo Clinic

Here's a helpful website.
