Decoding Dyslexia SD

Read the Fall 2019 issue of Perspectives now at dyslexiaida.org/perspectives/ featuring articles from Barbara Davidson and Natalie Wexler, Susan Neuman, Timothy Shanahan and others.

South Dakota educators are invited to provide feedback on a draft of the @WIDAConsortium English Language Development standards by Dec. 15. Find the standards at wida.wisc.edu/2020standards and look for the “Instructions and Survey” link to provide feedback.
