Thank you to the Dyslexia Advisors in Virginia that attended the IN-PERSON 2022 Dyslexia Institute in Charlottesville, VA on April 29, 2022. If you were unable to attend or want to revisit the agenda and resources, then you're in the right place. Contact your regional T/TAC Program Specialist for additional information.

Cindy and Jenn welcomed everyone with a wonderful ice breaker:
10 year-old girl from England wrote a poem that speaks volumes: www.freepressjournal.in/viral/i-can-make-in-life-10-year-old-girl-goes-viral-for-writing-inspirational-reverse-poem-about-dyslexia
read from top to bottom, then bottom to top

Divisions from regions 1-7 were spotlighted during the conference with region 8 inadvertently omitted. Take a moment to hear from Jacqueline Alston, Brunswick County, region 8, and the great things happening in literacy for all students including children with dyslexia.
We celebrate each Dyslexia Advisor in divisions all around Virginia! Thank you for all you do every day for students and literacy. View the Celebration Slideshow here.
