Sixty-five percent of students are failing to reach grade level reading by 4th grade and not catching up. Reading failures cause students to have low self-esteem and they become at risk of dropping out of high school and going to prison. It doesn’t have to be this way! With the right training program, teachers who teach up to 120-140 students a day, will be saving thousands of lives and helping students for many years to come!

In this presentation, you will learn:
• How teachers recognize a dyslexic student
• What teachers need to do to effectively teach a dyslexic student
• The power of music and how it impacts the brain of a dyslexic student
