Summer is one of the most opportune times to make meaningful academic progress. Below you’ll find everything in one place: program descriptions, key dates, early bird deadlines, and direct registration links.

The Tests of Dyslexia (TOD) is a comprehensive reading evaluation that helps families understand why an individual may be struggling—not only with reading, but with other learning challenges that often stem from underlying reading difficulties.

Supporting Twice-Exceptional Students With Dyslexia If you’re a parent of a child who is both highly intelligent and dyslexic, you already know the emotional whiplash. Your child may go from debating big ideas, and absorbing science videos at lightning speed

The main causes for procrastination and strategies to tackle it. (infographic)

Procrastination is a universal struggle! But for children with Learning Differences such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, or ADHD, it often feels insurmountable. When any learning challenge makes a task inherently more difficult, the brain naturally triggers avoidance. The key to tackling this isn't discipline; it's strategy, structure, and support.

At the start of the 2025-26 school year, California implemented Senate Bill 114, which mandates reading difficulty screenings for all Kindergarten through 2nd grade students in public school districts. This improvement will provide teachers and families with valuable information about students' reading challenges and aligns with Science of Reading practices.

The International Dyslexia Association (IDA) recently published a new definition of dyslexia, developed through a rigorous and collaborative process to reflect the latest research and the lived experiences of individuals with dyslexia. Members of the Strategies for Learning team, including our Certified Academic Language Therapists, also participated in this important effort.

If we use the etymology of dysgraphia (the history of the word as well as it’s language of origin), we find that it comes from the Greek words dys meaning "impaired" and graphía meaning "writing by hand" we can see that describes an avoidance when it comes to writing. Dysgraphia can also be a neurological disorder and learning disability that affects the ability to write with coherence. 

When parents begin to suspect dyslexia in their child, the first question often asked is: What kind of assessment should we pursue? Two common options are a full diagnostic psychoeducational evaluation or a formal dyslexia screener or targeted assessment, such as the Tests of Dyslexia (TOD). Both approaches provide valuable information, but they differ in terms of purpose, cost, time commitment, and the depth of results.

In this article, we’ll explore the key signs that your teen may be struggling in school, what types of support they might need, and how you can take action to ensure they get the help they need to be successful in high school, college, and beyond.

A summer reading program can be a valuable way to support your child’s reading and writing development, especially if they have struggled in the past with language skills.

Opportunities for student choice can lead to more engaged, motivated, and confident learners even within a structured learning environment.
