Dyslexia Success Stories

Happy Sunday! I usually like to send my emails on Thursdays, but life has been rough to say the least. I've been dealing with a severe asthma flare for the last couple of months and many trips to hospitals, so I take my bursts of energy when I can, so here we are on a Sunday morning finding the happiness in a good day. One thing that gives me a burst of energy is when I see my students shine. Two weeks ago I got an email from a dad of my former student that made me happy cry with pride. I...

Happy Friday! I have been blown away by the amazing feedback from the people who attended the SOR Summit! Here are just a few quotes about my Dysgraphia in the Classroom presentation: "Loved this presentation so informative" "I just learned so much about dysgraphia that I hadn't know before. Lisa, thank you so much for information as well as the dyslexia challenge!" "I have heard so much about dyslexia, but not much about dysgraphia. This was a well organized presentation that informed and...

Hey Reader, I know summer is a time for rest and recharging, but it's also a great time to discover new ideas and strategies when you aren't rushing to make copies or plan your next set of reading lessons. One of the hardest things as a teacher is getting professional development from people who haven't taught in a classroom in a decade. Just like me, so many of the Science of Reading Summit presenters work directly with kids each and every day. They know know what works... and what only...

Hello friends old and new! I know some of my longtime followers are probably wondering where I've been. It's been a rough year for me, to say the least. So this week's summit is the only new presentation I've recorded this year and I really hope you go check it out at the FREE Science of Reading Summit this week! My asthma has been exceptionally terrible, so all my hopes of other trainings went out the window this year, but this summit is always one of the best, so I made sure to make it...

Hey Dyslexia Devoted Fans! I hope you are well. A very kind member of this community sent me a sweet message this week, since I am normally very consistent at sending you guys resources and podcast episodes, but suddenly stopped. So I thought I'd give a little update and a surprise bonus to make up for my absence. Unfortunately, my asthma has hit an uncontrolled state with no end in sight. I can make it through the work day with my students, but by the evenings and weekends I'm wiped out with...

Happy Sunday! (or Monday depending on your time zone!) First, I just want to say how grateful I am to each of you who read my emails, attend my workshops, and listen to my podcast. I put my heart and soul into this business and your support means the world to me! By supporting Dyslexia Devoted and Parnello Education, you are helping a real person, not a big corporation. Last week's Black Friday sales covered 20% of my medical bills from my asthma/pneumonia situation this past month! I can't...
