Ever on the quest for new and exciting websites here are a few dandies to take a look at:

First up is http://www.sheppardsoftware.com/African_Geography.htm. This website was discovered by our dear friend, Robbie James, formerly of the C/SE ABLE Resource Center. Take a look at this site - U.S. and world geography, animals, nutrition, videos, games - right on target with multisensory instruction.

Next, stop by www.headstrongnation.org and watch an amazing video about one man's struggle with dyslexia and how he turned it into a way to serve his community.

This next video is excellent because it gives a very clear definition of dyslexia and takes you inside schools where the Orton-Gillingham method is successfully employed:
www.thinkbright.org/dyslexia/about/default.asp

This final site has quick snippets of videos - the best one (I think) is the 16 minute video of David Chalk discussing what it was like to grow up with undiagnosed dyslexia and the impact of the diagnosis in his early forties: http://www.knowledgenetwork.ca/dyslexia/base_loader.html

Take a moment, after viewing these websites/videos and give us some feedback - what did you think? What did you learn? What difference will it make in your classroom, life, workplace, if any?

Have a great weekend, folks!
