Join the Maryland State Library for the Blind and Print Disabled for a webinar, presented by the DC Capitol Area Branch of the International Dyslexia Association. This session will introduce the principles of structured literacy, a research-based approach that is proven to help students, including those with dyslexia and other exceptional learning needs, develop strong reading and writing skills. Together, we will explore what structured literacy looks like in practice, why it is so effective for struggling readers, and how families can support this learning at home.
This talk will be led by Kelly Fox, M.S.Ed. Language and Literacy. Kelly Fox is currently a DC Public School First Grade Teacher and Vice President for the volunteer board of DC-IDA. Kelly Fox is a veteran educator with several certifications, specifically: Reading Specialist (K-12), TESOL (K-12), Bilingual Education (K-12), and Elementary Education. Kelly Fox has a deep and long-standing commitment to addressing the needs of dyslexic thinkers and learners with learning differences, as well as their families and professionals, as a teacher, a speaker, and an advocate.
