The Dyslexic Nerd Online Course

Pinned

#Welcome to The Dyslexic Nerd Online Course!

The lessons below are designed to guide you though the different aspects of dyslexia. You may be unfamiliar with some of the terminology associated with education. I highly suggest bookmarking Free Educational Terms Glossary and Key Terms to Know in Special Education; furthermore, this website.

The class is free; however, Lesson 12 requires the purchase of a book. I also encourage you to invest in Dyslexia: A Practitioner's Handbook 5th Edition, Kindle Edition by Gavin Reid. Nevertheless, these are optional, and the topics can be researched on their own, via Google.

Please feel free to leave a message, if you have any questions or suggestions about this course.
