Deciphering Dyslexia
Posted by Bill Bourlet
Fran Thompson came and visited us today to inform us about this new project.
Dear Bill,
Thank you for asking for this information. I hope the following works for you:
"Deciphering Dyslexia is an international, award-winning, one-hour television documentary produced by Knowledge Network in Fall 2007. The documentary shares the experiences of four lower mainland families living with dyslexia. Their poignant stories are woven together with interviews with local researchers and educators. The THRIVE pull-out program for 15 students with severe dyslexia at Nootka Elementary is also featured and highlighted in the documentary as being a public classroom in need of resources. RCV-Arbutus has recently committed funding for RI's Computer Assisted Literacy Solutions for use of The Academy of Reading and The Academy of Math in the eastside, THRIVE classroom. Deciphering Dyslexia and its informative website can be viewed online at http://www.knowledge.ca/dyslexia/index.html . "
Bill, I will be receiving the 2008 Special People Freddie Award on behalf of the Knowledge Network Corporation on November 14th in Philidelphia. http://www.thefreddies.com/Awards/Results.aspx?CategoryId=29&Year=2008. My family were participants in the documentary.
I greatly enjoy your meetings!
Hope you have had a wonderful holiday weekend!
Cheers,
Fran
