Let your child’s favorite teacher know how much she means to your family.
Most people have had a special instructor who has made a difference in their lives. For a dyslexic student, a great teacher can have an impact on their ability to read, self-advocate, fit in, gain self-confidence, and most importantly, their capacity to smile.
The International Dyslexia Association is celebrating National Teacher’s Day on May 8 by inviting families to nominate a special educator as an “Unsung Hero.”
It is a title that celebrates the impact these invaluable individuals have had on children.
The Association will recognize each nominee by sending them a letter informing them of the nomination and naming them on their website. All those honored will be placed in a drawing for a $250 travel stipend, three nights’ accommodation, and one free registration to attend the association’s 63rd Annual Conference: Reading, Literacy, and Learning on Oct. 24 to 27 in Baltimore, Md.
To nominate a special educator, visit the Association’s website, www.interdys.org/AnnualHonorATeacher.htm. Entries are due by May 18. For more, call Lisa Harlow of Clapp Communications at (410) 561-8886, or e-mail lisa@barbclapp.com.
