Breaking News in Education: Updated Definition of Dyslexia!
Dyslexia is a specific learning disability characterized by difficulties in word reading and/or spelling that involve accuracy, speed, or both and vary depending on the orthography. These difficulties occur along a continuum of severity and persist even with instruction that is effective for the individual’s peers.
The causes of dyslexia are complex and involve combinations of genetic, neurobiological, and environmental influences that interact throughout development. Underlying difficulties with phonological and morphological processing are common but not universal, and early oral language weaknesses often foreshadow literacy challenges. Secondary consequences include reading comprehension problems and reduced reading and writing experience that can impede growth in language, knowledge, written expression, and overall academic achievement. Psychological well-being and employment opportunities also may be affected. Although identification and targeted instruction are important at any age, language and literacy support before and during the early years of education is particularly effective.

🌎 Our World in Motion 🚶🏼♀️🚲🛶
A celebration of how people travel, explore, and shape history. Our students studied everything from bicycles and carriages to boat travel, early colonial routes, and the evolution from simple tools to complex machines.
Every element you see was created with intention. Students painted the bicycles, shaped the garden spaces, arranged the flowers, and stained the wagon. Their work comes together to form a permanent learning space that honors inquiry, creativity, and the story of movement across time. ✨

Researcher Shanahan’s work offers a clear reminder-strong reading instruction is not about matching students to easier books. 📖 It is about teaching the processes that help them move through complex text with skill. Here is a short look at how we bring that research to life.

This summative learning experience allowed our students to apply what they have learned and deomonstrate their understanding in a meaningful way. By replicating different artifacts from indigenous tribes such as masks and necklaces, students deepened their appreciation for cultural identity within the theme Who We Are. 🎭✨
