Dyslexia

  • WHAT IS DYSLEXIA?

    Dyslexia is a specific learning disability that is neurological in origin. Students with dyslexia have difficulty:

    • Recognizing words quickly and accurately when reading
    • Spelling words correctly
    • Decoding words while reading
    HISD (and Burrus by inclusion) take steps to identify students with dyslexia, as well as take steps to empower staff with knowledge on how to assist those affected by it.
