Reader, Come Home: The Reading Brain in a Digital World
This book discussion explores how digital technology is affecting the way we read, with questions to spark conversation about the evolving reading brain in today’s world.
Empower your tutoring for dyslexic learners with ChatGPT and unlock a new dimension. Adapt, personalize, and innovate with the help of AI. Integrating ChatGPT into dyslexia tutoring offers personalized and interactive learning experiences, providing 24/7 assistance in a non-judgmental environment. The model’s ability to generate varied resources, offer immediate feedback, and continuously adapt supports learners in overcoming dyslexic challenges. While serving as a valuable supplemental tool, it is essential to incorporate ChatGPT within a comprehensive tutoring program that includes diverse strategies and human guidance.
After taking Kimberly Sclarksy Downey’s class on dyslexia tutoring and ChatGPT, I’m in love with having my own personal assistant! Today I had a student struggling on his Barton Book 3 Post Test, mixing up words ending with ‘nch’, ‘ck’, and ‘nk’. Normally it would take me some time to put together some extra practice words. Not today!
The RWSR Professional Development Forum is a private, members-only space for dyslexia tutors committed to ongoing learning. Instead of being buried in social media feeds, every discussion is organized by topic and easy to return to anytime.
Our members are tutors who have experience with more than one program and want to deepen their practice by exploring issues across pedagogies. This kind of open, cross-program conversation is rare — social media tends to keep tutors siloed, but here you’ll find colleagues who are curious, critical, and committed to ongoing growth.
