The first one that I recorded 2 weeks ago before I got sick and it will be live within hours of when I post today’s episode. You can hear my interview with Ashley DiMercurio on The Reading Project podcast, and I’ll link that in the show notes.
The second was a live video stream for the Hot Topics! podcast that isn’t live on the podcast apps yet, but you can already find the recording of our live conversation over on the Parnello Education Facebook page or in the Dyslexia Devoted Facebook group.

In This Episode: Have you ever wondered if a suggested treatment for dyslexia really works?
Welcome to Episode 20 and today we’re going to discuss strategies that DON’T help people with dyslexia! Be sure to tune in the very last section today as I have just found an amazing video about parents advocating for their children with dyslexia and it aligns perfectly with our last myth.
Also, one of the fantastic parents I work with shared with me This American Life Podcast Episode 773: The Longest Distance Between Two Points. The first 7 minutes of the episode sound pretty much like every day in my office as I teach children how to read. Those first few months can be pretty bumpy as a child is learning to read, and many don’t realize just how much work goes into it.
Strategies That DON'T Help with Dyslexia: 1. Vision Therapy 2. Special Fonts 3. Balanced Literacy and Leveled Readers

How long does dyslexia remediation take? In this episode, we discuss the various factors that impact the duration of time needed to remediate dyslexia to help a student be a fluent reader and speller. If you want to learn more, check out my online course about dyslexia and remediation.
Is the student getting instruction in a group or individually? Individual instruction is always faster, but it isn't always a feasible option.
How often is the student receiving instruction? The more frequent they are receiving services, the faster they will make progress.
What level of training does the teacher have? A teacher who is fully certified or receiving instructional coaching will be much more proficient at teaching a student with dyslexia than a teacher who has only had a brief introductory class.
Topics Discussed: 1. Factors to Consider 2. How Remediation is Provided 3. Who is Providing Reading Remediation
