1) Which foundational resource was chosen? Why?
I chose Dyslexia, Myths, and Facts because I wanted to educate myself about dyslexia misconceptions to better understand dyslexia and serve future students accurately. Misconception and misinformation can result in incorrect decisions, which can affect students’ learning.
What are some of your key takeaways from the resource?
Among the most important things I learned from these sources are that only 1 in 10 dyslexics will be eligible for an IEP and special education services, and that dyslexia affects 5–10% of the population. It makes me wonder how the other 90% population with dyslexia manages. Students with dyslexia will not benefit from reading aloud because doing so makes it harder for them to sound out unfamiliar words.

I may have met dyslexic students without realizing it due to inexperience and misunderstanding. I can use this information to help both my current and future students.

I chose option 5 identify five common misconceptions about dyslexia. This resource is directly connected to my SLO artifact to identify common misconceptions about dyslexia.
What questions/wonderings came up as you reviewed the resource?
How do the remaining 90% of people with dyslexia cope when the condition affects 5–10% of the population and only 1 in 10 of them receive special education services? Also, I wonder if different races and genders are affected by dyslexia differently.

You are more than welcome to it!
