The Sacramento County Office of Education (SCOE) is partnering with Glean Education to host a free series of online presentations that will help educators support students who struggle with learning to read. The series of webinars, facilitated by some of the nation’s top experts, will help teachers recognize risk factors in children and support students who have reading difficulties and dyslexia.
SCOE is the grant lead for the California Dyslexia Initiative (CDI), a three-year, grant-funded project developing specialized training and creating statewide professional learning networks.
