Dyslexia Risk Screening in Kindergarten Schools

Posted on by

About The Study: In this cohort study of 515 children followed from kindergarten through grades 1 and 4, distinct patterns of cognitive-linguistic deficits in kindergarten were associated with 2- to 5-fold increased risk for early- and late-emerging dyslexia. These findings provide a foundational evidence base to support the integration of developmentally sensitive screening into pediatric surveillance frameworks, facilitating early identification and a shift from reactive to preventive care, including for children at risk of late-emerging dyslexia.

We are delighted to be working with M·E·L Research again, this time on a new study exploring the experiences of adults with dyslexia in the workplace. This research will build a deeper understanding of how dyslexia impacts working lives, with a particular focus on employment, inclusion and participation. The study will generate robust evidence to help inform future policy and practice, and will ensure that the voices of those living with dyslexia are at the heart of the work.

AI can personalise education for those who learn differently

Posted on by

As schools explore how artificial intelligence can support teaching and learning, initiatives such as EtonHouse’s enterprise AI workspace invite a broader question: How might these technologies also support students who learn differently? (AI gender gap at work: Are women being left behind in Singapore’s AI push?, March 7).

For individuals with dyslexia and other learning differences, this development is particularly significant. Many of these students understand concepts well but struggle with the mechanics of reading and writing. AI tools can help reduce some of these barriers so that their thinking and understanding become more visible.

A Metronome, not a Mouse: An Affordable Approach to Dyslexia
Strengthening rhythm and timing builds the foundation for reading—and it can be done simply and affordably.”
New research is reshaping how dyslexia is understood, showing that brain timing and rhythm play a critical role in learning to read. While many technology-based interventions address these findings, their high cost puts them out of reach for most families.
Matthew Glavach, Ph.D., founder of StrugglingReaders.com, offers a practical, research-based alternative using simple tools—such as a metronome and paper-and-pencil activities—to strengthen rhythm, timing, and reading skills in engaging ways.
Designed for home and classroom use, Glavach’s three-book series is affordably priced at $15.95 per book and aligns directly with reading instruction. The program may also support individuals with stuttering, autism, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.

Simulating a common struggle

Posted on by

Affecting one in five Americans, Dyslexia is one of the most impactful learning disabilities in the country, yet it is fraught with misconceptions. On Thursday, members of the Northwest Iowa Dyslexia Support Group hosted a 101 course and simulation to provide insight on the disability’s impacts.

Composed of teachers and parents of children with dyslexia, the support group has met at the Sioux Center Public Library for the last four years to help fellow educators and families.

Sioux Center residents Renee Saarloos, Amanda Hulstein and Emily Kramer together with Jacinda Zoet of Hull formed the Northwest Iowa Dyslexia Support Group to raise awareness and provide education to the public about what it means to be dyslexic.
