This is an article about two teachers in Illinois who received the “It Takes a Village” Award from Everyone Reading Illinois, which is a nonprofit dedicated to assisting dyslexic individuals.
“In 2012, the two women sought out extra training to help them understand, identify and teach kids with dyslexia. … In the last three years, the two women have screened all incoming kindergartners and first-graders in their school district for signs of dyslexia. That’s more than 100 students. They’ve also shared their knowledge about dyslexia with every teacher in their district and have used intervention in the classroom to help kids read.”
