Lately when I find four leaf clovers, I’ve been leaving them. 🍀🤷🏼‍♀️

So if you’re in Maryland, and you happen upon a lonely, little 4-leafer with very little grass, weeds, or leaves around it, I don’t know WHO tried to set you up for success.

What do you know about dyslexia? 

What questions do you have about dyslexia? 

For the next few weeks leading up to my own start to the school year I am sharing a new series called “De-Mystifying Dyslexia” and I would love for you to join me! 

Follow in my stories or on the highlight above!

(Part 2) 

The series will be shared on IG stories, on tiktok, on the teachmama facebook page, and in the Take 5 newsletter. 

Look for the logo on social, and if you want to receive the whole thing via email, then sign up for Take5 on the link below. 

I’m really excited about this. It’s taken a long, long time to create, and the only thing I ask is that you, once viewing it all, could take 2 minutes to give me some feedback. There will be a google form on the last of the slides, at the end of the series. I thank you, I appreciate you, and I look forward to learning along with you.

Hi and thank you for your interest in watching my ‘de-mystifying dyslexia’ series. 

My name is Amy Mascott, and I’m a reading specialist and former high school English teacher. I’m also the creator of teachmama.com  where since 2008, I’ve helped families make meaningful connections with their kids and build bridges between home and school. 

As an educator, I’m always trying to share important information—bc I really think that when we know better, we do better. This series is part of my final project for a course I’m taking through Advancement Courses called ‘understanding dyslexia’. 

And as a reading teacher, I need to know all I can about this condition. What I realized is that I had a lot to learn—maybe you, as a parent or teacher yourself, can also stand to learn a little bit. 

Maybe, like me, you’ve grown up thinking that dyslexia was a condition where people read letters backwards—b for d or p for g? Maybe you thought, like I did, that if a person was dyslexic, they saw all of the letters jumbled together on the page? I’m here to tell you that both of those things are untrue. 

So if you would like to learn a little about dyslexia—if you would like for me to ‘de-mystify dyslexia’ for you, then follow along!
