Screening in Kindergarten is so important so you can tailor instruction and provide interventions/remediation to students that need it early!!

This looks like a great one and it’s coming up soon!

Nadine Gabb is all about early screening! Which leads to better instruction if used properly and the early identification of students struggling to read, and those with Dyslexia!

Got a call from a parent today.

Her teen with dyslexia is expected to “fill in the blanks” on notes meant as accommodations.

For students with processing challenges, that’s not access — that’s another barrier.
