In this special dyslexia-focused Essentials episode of Science of Reading: The Podcast, Susan Lambert pulls from past episodes to summarize everything you need to know about dyslexia, from experts Emily Lutrick, Ed.D.; Nadine Gaab, Ph.D.; Tim Odegard, Ph.D.; Sally Shaywitz, M.D.; and Francisco Usero-González, Ph.D. You'll also hear first-hand accounts from young people about their personal experiences with dyslexia, reading, and the education system. Even if you have little prior knowledge of dyslexia, you’ll walk away from this episode with a foundational understanding of the condition, including what it is, what causes it, how to identify it, the importance of early screening, how it is a continuum, methods for intervention, and more.Show notes:ResourcesAccess free high-quality resources at our brand new professional learning page: http://amplify.com/science-of-reading/professional-learning Download your Dyslexia Support Power PackJoin our community Facebook Group: www.facebook.com/groups/scienceofreadingEpisode Timestamps00:27 Introduction to SoR: Essentials01:02 Susan’s personal connection with dyslexia02:53 Accounts from young people on their experience of dyslexia05:09 Defining dyslexia with Dr. Emily Lutrick06:53 Dyslexia as a reading disability with Dr. Nadine Gaab07:39 Three key characteristics of people with dyslexia with Dr. Tim Odegard09:42 Longitudinal study with Dr. Sally Shaywitz11:54 The causes of dyslexia13:09 Early identification and effective intervention15:22 Discrepancy model/Waiting to fail model16:35 How early is too early to screen for dyslexia18:37 How to know when a student is at risk for dyslexia21:54 Identifying risk factors in older students22:54 Decoding nonsense words24:27 The power of naming a struggle25:28 The importance of having a cohesive system in place26:43 Screening students in their home language with Dr. Francisco Paco Usero Gonzalez29:45 Dyslexia as a continuum33:41 Final thoughts from young people on dyslexia36:12 Preview of upcoming episode*Timestamps are approximate, rounded to nearest minute
