61. From Screening to Support: Coaching Teachers to Reach Every Learner with Jean Peake (Dyslexia Awareness Month)

In this Dyslexia Awareness Month bonus episode of Literacy in Color, I’m joined by Jean Peake, Lower School Literacy Specialist and Orton-Gillingham Practitioner. Jean shares about the importance of early screening, diagnostic assessments, and data-driven interventions – especially for those with dyslexia. Jean’s insights are both practical and heart-centered, reminding us that literacy work is about more than data. It’s about protecting the hearts of the students we serve. 

Key Takeaways:

  • Why universal screening for all students is essential
  • What to look for when analyzing assessment data beyond “on grade level” labels
  • Practical, high-impact classroom strategies that support dyslexic learners — and truly benefit all students
  • How to partner with parents in ways that are empathetic, clear, and empowering
