An important read! School Boards do matter. They are the immediate connection to parents and communities. They should be democratic, transparent and fully engage with their constituents. #bced #vanpoli

We need systemic change in BC to ensure Inclusion.

Systemic change in education is about building an education system where every student has a pathway to learning that matches their life, their well-being, and their learning needs.

#DyslexiaBC agrees "identifying a concern is not the same thing as making the necessary investments to support learning.”

More specialists need to have input into BC's Plans around screeners

#bced #bcpoli #accessiblebc #InclusiveEducation 2/2

Screening alone isn’t enough

BC’s K–3 literacy screening identifies students - without $, resources, or intervention, it won’t help them succeed

BCTF: identifying concerns≠investing in support

#DyslexiaBC agrees-early identification must B paired with funded, EvidenceBased intervention

Got a call from a parent today.

Her teen with dyslexia is expected to “fill in the blanks” on notes meant as accommodations.

For students with processing challenges, that’s not access — that’s another barrier.

“The brain is most malleable early in life - this is when intervention can make the biggest difference.” Dr. Nadine Gaab

After Grade 4, it can take 4× longer 2 close reading gaps.
Early screening & structured literacy in the early years change lives — & protect self-esteem.

“When I was a kid they didn’t call it dyslexia. They called it… you were slow”-Whoopi Goldberg

Dyslexia is not a lack of intelligence. It’s a difference in how the brain processes language.

Let’s change the words. Let’s change the story. ❤️

“Before I had dyslexia, you know what I had? Stupid. Lazy. Useless.” — Will Trent

No one should ever feel this way because of how their brain learns.

“At 31, I found out I wasn’t stupid or lazy. I had something with a name.”

- Henry Winkler

Dyslexia doesn’t define intelligence, it defines how the brain learns.

Happy Thanksgiving! 🍂

We’re thankful for the growing awareness, compassion, and community that support those with dyslexia across BC. 💖

#Thanks #grateful #DyslexiaBC

A festive Thanksgiving dinner table featuring a roasted turkey as the centerpiece, surrounded by an array of dishes including green beans, stuffing, sliced ham, and a pumpkin pie. The table is decorated with pumpkins, sunflowers, candles, and autumnal flowers, with wine glasses and plates set for a meal.

Did you know the first thanksgiving celebrated by Europeans in North America happened in Canada?
Or that the Indigenous celebrated autumn harvests long before Europeans arrived?
Why do we celebrate Thanksgiving a month earlier than the United States?
This is the story.

Steven Spielberg, who is dyslexic, reminds us:
“It will not hold you back.” 🌈

Let’s make sure every BC student has access to structured literacy & early screening.
