Greetings!
We hope you all are enjoying the rest of your summer and for some an early beginning to a new school year. This year we will provide resources that tap into areas of interest you shared within our summer interest survey and those we felt would support your work in your role as Dyslexia Advisor. You will notice that the look of the newsletter has changed. Instead of sharing a one page "Wakelet" that includes various topics, the newsletter is now divided into multiple "Wakelets" that organize resources in an accessible manner. 
One exciting feature we want to highlight is the Regions 1 & 8 DA Collaboration Forum "Wakelet". This wakelet allows our advisors to ask and respond to questions posed by other Dyslexia Advisors within our region. It is our hope that you will gain knowledge, share expertise and connect with peers across divisions. Another way to connect with DAs across divisions would be to read the profile slides within the Regions 1 & 8 Dyslexia Advisors' Newsletter Directory. If you have not had a chance to create a profile slide, we encourage you to do so. We have enjoyed reading your DA fun facts and we have learned so much about how you all are working to bring awareness of Dyslexia to your divisions. 
We want everyone to have a great 2021-2022 school year and we hope you enjoy the first newsletter of the year.  
Thank You,
Jennifer Askue-Collins  &  Amber Butler
