Sue Voit, fellow of the Academy of Orton-Gillingham Practitioners and Educators, will present an overview of language-based reading difficulties such as dyslexia and how they affect learning.

This free workshop is made possible through generous grant funding from the Hawaii Hotel Industry Foundation and the Rotary Club of North Hawaii.
