Dear Readers,
This week, SchwabLearning.org highlights reading -- from an overview of
dyslexia to reading strategies and assistive technology tools. Also, we'd
like to point out that several of Schwab Learning's very own publications
are reading-centered. These products, such as 50 Fun Ways to Improve
Reading, can be downloaded free from our site using Adobe Acrobat Reader.

MANAGING LEARNING DIFFERENCES
Reading Strategies
Kids with weak reading skills need direct, explicit instruction in phonics.
Although teachers or other trained professionals should be doing the
teaching, there are lots of ways you can help your child at home.
