Higher ScreenQ scores were also associated with lower measures of structural integrity of white matter, which also affects the formation of a myelin sheath around a nerve, which helps nerve impulses move more quickly.

https://www.scientificamerican.com//the-advantages-of-dys/ This is a fantastic read. Dyslexia as an ABILITY!

This is fantastic. There is no top end or maximum potential for learning! Yes!

A great read on the use of iPads and language development. "We also know that the best way to help your child learn and grow is to interact with him/her! Have fun in your everyday interactions, like bath time, meal time or when you’re walking to the park! That’s where the best language learning takes place."

Fantastic! The first week back isn't always an easy one for children. Here are some great ways to help you communicate with your child and make the transition as easy as possible.

As parents and educators different perspectives like this simulation can help us truly understand. Knowledge is power and the more we know the more we can empower our children to reach their potential!

What a fantastic idea!

https://www.cultofpedagogy.com/spelling-mistakes/ Here is a great article on how to empower your child to enjoy writing and not get too caught up on correctness in the early stages. As parents and educators, it is important to allow children to free their brains for the process of writing! Allow your child to take risks and gain confidence through this process :)
