Dyslexia Tidbit
Why Cursive, Especially for Children with Dyslexia?
"In the first place, cursive is undeniably much faster. “Kate Gladstone, a handwriting specialist based in Albany, estimates that while a student needs to jot down 100 legible words a minute to follow a typical lecture, someone using print can manage only 30” (Freedman, 2005).
When writing cursive, the word becomes a unit, rather than a series of separate strokes, and correct spelling is more likely to be retained.
All lowercase cursive letters can begin on the line, so fewer of them are likely to be reversed.
Most critically, handwriting engages more cognitive resources than keyboarding does (Berninger, 2012)." - Diana Hanbury King

The lunch menu has changed this week for Monday and Thursday.
MONDAY: A. Poppin' Potato Bowl
B. Salisbury Steak
THURSDAY: A. Walking Tacos - beef
B. Walking Tacos - chicken
A Note from the Golf Tournament
Wondering how you can help with our 4th Annual fundraising Golf Tournament?
Tee Up for Dyslexia is one of two yearly fundraisers for our school. All proceeds will benefit
programs and services for our students that aren't covered by our limited public funding. Please consider helping with the event in one (or more!) of these ways:
- Sign up to golf. The cost is $500/team of four and there are still spaces available. Register by October 30.
- Ask friends and family to golf. Encourage anyone who enjoys golfing to sign up a team.
- Sponsor the event. Businesses and organizations can submit for various levels of sponsorship ranging from $2,500 - $300 or even in-kind items. You could have your table set up on the course, your logo on the event banner, your company sign at one of the holes, and a chance to be part of the player gift bag. This is a great way to show that your business cares about individualized instruction for children with dyslexia.
- Sponsor a Family Hole in honor of your LABCS child and your child’s name and photo (optional) will be on a sign at one of the holes. This is a great way for your family and friends to celebrate your child and let everyone at the tournament know that the golf they’re playing is helping raise funds for our student innovators.
Questions? Please email Debbie Vaughn at [email protected]. Thank you for all the ways you support our young scholars!
