Don’t miss this presentation on Sunday, January 28 and Monday, January 29! Join George Hruby (Ph.D. Reading Education), former Executive Director of the University of Kentucky’s Collaborative Center for Literacy Development, for Dyslexia’s Discontents: Characteristics, Instruction, and Misidentifications to Avoid. His scholarship centers on educational neuroscience, reading comprehension, and literacy development, and has appeared in numerous journals and edited research volumes.

Staying afloat on the troubled waters of students’ reading difficulties makes for tough sailing in the era of the Science of Reading, legislative mandates, automated instruction, and “diagnoses on the fly.” Dr. Hruby will present the latest neuro- and genetic research on reading differences, the challenges of determining successful responses for unique student reading profiles, and emphasize the careful matching of needs to methods. Work on crafting the new definition of dyslexia from the International Literacy Association will also be shared.

With early registration rates ending on November 16, now is the best time to register for LitCon: National K-8 Literacy & Reading Recovery Conference!
