 The four-part GaDOE Dyslexia Video S
 eries was developed through a partnership between the Georgia Department o
 f Education and the Mary Frances Early College of Education at the Univers
 ity of Georgia. In each webinar\, The International Dyslexia Association G
 eorgia\, The Reading League Georgia\, and the Georgia Department of Educat
 ion have partnered to bring you four live webinars during which Dr. Sayesk
 i will “unravel” the content presented in each video. Dr. Sayeski and 
 Dr. Lindstrom will then answer questions to further clarify the informatio
 n presented and provide guidance on how best to support students with dysl
 exia in the school setting. Our webinar series begins with the unraveling 
 of Video 1: “What is Dyslexia?” This video provides an overview of com
 monly used definitions of dyslexia and delineates characteristics that may
  be present from early childhood through the upper elementary grades. In a
 ddition\, dyslexia-related myths are dispelled along with a peek inside th
 e reading brain. To access the slides as well as additional information re
 ferenced in the webinar by Dr. Sayeski\, go to https://ga.dyslexiaida.org/
