Dear Dyslexia Associations world-wide,
Thank you very much for the support that you have given us in recent years. I am writing to ask you for your help again.
As you know, Dyslexia International is running a World Dyslexia Forum in February 2010. The second day of the Forum will be devoted to reports about examples of best practice in teaching around the world. These reports will be given by six rapporteurs, covering each of the UNESCO languages:
Arabic - Dr Sana Tibi
Chinese - Prof. Alice Cheng-Lai
English - Dr Jenny Thomson
French - Prof. José Morais
Russian - Dr Elena Grigorenko
Spanish - Dr Jesus Alegria Iscoa
In order to do this, we need information from you about examples of best practice in your countries. You can provide this by filling in one of the questionnaires which can be found by following this link: http://www.worlddyslexiaforum.org/ and then clicking on the right hand heading: “Good Practice”. If this is not appropriate you could simply write a short report or paragraph, describing any examples of good teaching/classroom practice of which you are aware.
Please send the completed forms or reports to us, either at unicom1@dyslexia-international.org or to Dyslexia International asbl, rue Defacqz 1, B–1000 Brussels, Belgium.
We are hoping that, by all working together, we can use this Forum to really improve the way that dyslexic children are educated around the world. Your help in achieving this goal will be greatly appreciated.
Yours sincerely,
Rachel Warfield
Principal Researcher for Dyslexia International
