ROCHESTER - The Rochester School District, working with the Seacoast Learning Center, will be giving educators the opportunity to complete a free continuing education course on dyslexia throughout the 2017-2018 school year.

Starting in the fall, faculty will have the opportunity, free of charge, to complete the 60 hours necessary to achieve certification in the Orton-Gillingham Approach, one of the two widely accepted methods for teaching students with dyslexia, along with the Wilson Reading System.

To kick off the initiative, Rochester schools, in conjunction with the Children's Dyslexia Center, are hosting a free event for parents and educators on dyslexia at the Rochester Opera House, 31 Wakefield St. on Thursday at 5:30 p.m.

The movie "The Big Picture: Rethinking Dyslexia" will run from 6-7 followed by a anel discussion with question and answer session from 7-8:30.

The event will give teachers and parents a look into the complexities of language and how best to work with students who have dyslexia.
