[CASL-L] Materials to Share from the Office of Dyslexia and Reading Disabilities

[Potter, Catherine]

Sharing on behalf of our partners at the Office of Dyslexia and Reading Disabilities:

Dyslexia Awareness Library Campaign
Attached are the Dyslexia Awareness Library Campaign materials designed by the Office of Dyslexia and Reading Disabilities in collaboration with Decoding Dyslexia Connecticut and the Connecticut State Library. The materials were developed as part of Dyslexia Awareness Month but can be used to create displays that build awareness, address common misconceptions, and connect families and community members with resources about dyslexia all year long.

What Literacy Screening Data Tells Us and What It Doesn’t

Join the Connecticut State Department of Education and SERC for a virtual session with Fumiko Hoeft, M.D., Ph.D., on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, from 6:00–7:30 p.m. This session will examine the purpose and limitations of literacy screening and its relationship to the identification of Specific Learning Disabilities SLD/Dyslexia. Participants will explore how screening data can help identify students who may be at risk for reading difficulties, while also considering what screening data cannot determine. The session will address the role of professional judgment, the balance between over- and under-referral, and the connection between screening outcomes and timely, targeted instructional response. The session is open to K–12 educators, students, caregivers, and other interested professionals.
