Breaking News in Education: Updated Definition of Dyslexia!
Dyslexia is a specific learning disability characterized by difficulties in word reading and/or spelling that involve accuracy, speed, or both and vary depending on the orthography. These difficulties occur along a continuum of severity and persist even with instruction that is effective for the individual’s peers.
The causes of dyslexia are complex and involve combinations of genetic, neurobiological, and environmental influences that interact throughout development. Underlying difficulties with phonological and morphological processing are common but not universal, and early oral language weaknesses often foreshadow literacy challenges. Secondary consequences include reading comprehension problems and reduced reading and writing experience that can impede growth in language, knowledge, written expression, and overall academic achievement. Psychological well-being and employment opportunities also may be affected. Although identification and targeted instruction are important at any age, language and literacy support before and during the early years of education is particularly effective.

This summative learning experience allowed our students to apply what they have learned and deomonstrate their understanding in a meaningful way. By replicating different artifacts from indigenous tribes such as masks and necklaces, students deepened their appreciation for cultural identity within the theme Who We Are. 🎭✨

Dr. Jenni is rooting for the University of Oregon. The Ducks lead on the football field and in education. The University of Oregon developed DIBELS ( Dynamic Indicator of Basic Early Literacy Skills ) to help teachers identify students who need additional instructional support.
Ever wonder how Dr. Jenni chooses her college football team on game day? 🏈
It’s not about the mascot, it’s about the research. Each season, she cheers for the university leading the way in literacy and evidence-based reading instruction.
Because in this house, Go Team means Go Literacy. 📣📚

“The Roig Academy and Dr. Jennifer C. Roig, Ed.D have been a lifesaver in an overwhelming time in our life. When your child does not fit in the cookie cutter mold of life, it is often difficult to find a listening ear, someone who cares, the knowledge and patience to guide you.”
