As we step into 2025, my wish is simple: to empower teachers, parents, and students with the tools and knowledge to create a brighter future for all learners. No shame, no blame—just a shared commitment to growth, understanding, and action on this learning journey.

A poster with BND and articulation gestures to show how to write the letter B. and d. Poster can be found on teacher pay teacher.

I had the privilege of presenting to all the resource teachers at my school board. I shared the reason I was standing before them: my son, who is dyslexic. I spoke about our journey—my shift from balanced literacy to structured literacy—and my mission to raise awareness #Dyslexia #sor
