We Can
Spoken language, reading, spelling, and writing can be challenging for students with dyslexia. These difficulties, however, can be overcome with language-based, systematic instruction and consistent support. Our literacy products are aligned to research- and evidence-based practices for teaching reading.
According to the International Dyslexia Association, "Dyslexia is a specific learning disability that is neurobiological in origin. It is characterized by difficulties with accurate and/or fluent word recognition and by poor spelling and decoding abilities. These difficulties typically result from a deficit in the phonological component of language that is often unexpected in relation to other cognitive abilities and the provision of effective classroom instruction."
For a more detailed description, see the IDA Dyslexia Handbook: What Every Family Should Know
Structured Literacy is Key to Student Success
Effective reading instruction for students who struggle requires research-based solutions that keep them motivated and excited to learn. The most effective solutions are those that follow the structured literacy approach, which is distinctive in guiding
how critical elements are taught.
Structured literacy is the approach endorsed by the International Dyslexia Association's Board of Directors. It encompasses instruction that conforms to IDA's Knowledge and Practice Standards for Teachers of Reading.
Structured literacy is defined by several elements and principles outlined in the Effective Reading Fact Sheet. Explicit, systematic, and cumulative instruction in the essential elements listed below is critical to ensuring student success in learning to read. This approach is not only vital for students with dyslexia, but research has found it is effective for all students.
The following programs align with the principles of structured literacy. View the PDF below for more information specific to dyslexia, or use the links below to learn more about each solution.
LANGUAGE! Live® | Grades 5–12This blended program applies the structured Literacy literacy approach recommended by the IDA and provides explicit, systematic, and cumulative foundational reading skill instruction. The program emphasizes higher-level comprehension as students

For students with dyslexia and other reading challenges, the struggle to read can make the day-to-day demands of school frustrating and challenging. Dylan was one of those students.
His starting point was in elementary school, where he struggled to read. After years of searching for an answer, he was diagnosed with dyslexia. Unfortunately, his school system did not have a program to support his diagnosis. Dylan's pivotal moment came when his parents learned a neighboring school district had a well-trained teacher with a research-based program to meet his needs. Watch Dylan's inspiring story here.

Imagine a wall of ancient hardwoods, hundreds of years old from trees that are no longer commercially available today.
Vasa series wood wall panels are made of genuine reclaimed boatwood from retired fishing boats. These 80 to 300 tonnage boats were built 60 to 100 years ago with now rare ironwoods, such as yellow rosewood, catalpa, green sandalwood, belian teak and elmwood, which had grown for hundreds of years to become mature. Over the decades of sailing, these fishing boats have been thoroughly tempered and seasoned – only the best quality boatwood survived till the end.
Because hardwood takes so long to grow, sometimes many hundreds of years, there is now a worldwide acceptance for the need to protect those trees still remaining, and of making use of the wood still remaining. Reclaimed boatwood has become a nonrenewable resource. Every piece of reclaimed boatwood, with its rich individuality, is rare and collectable.
Due to the long exposure to seawater and sunshine, the wood's dense and smooth patterns and textures became more marked and knotted and over the decades a great range of color variation developed. the different unique markings, small knots, nail holes, grain and tones individualized each piece of the boatwood which haved been lovingly collected, sorted and pieced together to create a unique collection of Vasa series wall panels.
As the exclusive distributor of the product for Australia and New Zealand, we take great pleasure in offering you a chance, while stocks last, to embellish your home with a beautiful and unique piece of history. The Vasa Series wall panels could not only make a significant difference to your home, but they are easy to install, long lasting, unique, beautiful, with an incredible history and reasonably priced.
Due to the reclaimed nature of this wood, slight inconsistencies such as small knots, nail holes, and grain and color variations may occur. Returns will be accepted within 14 days from time of delivery, however a 20% restocking fee will be charged.

Despite Tiger Woods being awarded the British Open title yesterday afternoon by Pat Forde, the rest of the field decided to show up and play today anyway. And Tiger still does have the lead, but just by a stroke. Sergio Garcia shot a course record-tying 65 today to get himself to within 1 of Tiger. The trend this weekend seems to be for Spaniards to finish second to Americans.
So Tiger's at -13, and just behind him at -12 are Sergio, Chris DiMarco, and Ernie Els. Jim Furyk and Angel Cabrera are two back at -11. My favorite, S.K. Ho, is at -6. Tiger wasn't able to put together that great of a round today, three-putting on three seperate occasions on the back nine. He finished with at -1 on the day after a birdie on 18.
Here's a handy guide from The Wade Blogs to some of the British golf slang you may hear during the telecast. It'll also help explain the headline there. Coverage starts at 6 a.m. tomorrow morning on TNT, so don't go out tonight.

I am new to Windows programming, but have been given a handle to a Windows DIB and am not sure how to use it. Basically, I just want to retrieve a char* holding the pixel data for an image such that the origin is the top left corner and scanlines are stored.
Apparently, no BITMAPFILEHEADER is present and the data starts with BITMAPINFO:
mrDIBInfo gives me a structure as such:Code:HBITMAP mrDIB = (HBITMAP)GlobalLock(imageData); //'imageData' is a HANDLE BITMAPINFO* mrDIBInfo = (BITMAPINFOHEADER*)mrDIB;
How can I get the start of the bitmap header data so I can assign its address to a char*?
Thank you in advance and sorry if I am unclear as this is really new to me.

I was attacked by one while mining flint and it stole my pick. Then it got my pike when I went to fight. That's when I noticed noticed that it didn't actually "steal" what was in my hand, but just disarmed me and dropped it in the ground. Check the ground and see if your stuff is there after they attack you. My pick was laying there near the spot of the initial attack.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) Updated studies show Ohio's oil-rich shale deposits may extend further west than earlier believed.
Revised maps produced by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources show promising shale prospects in Hancock, Hardin, Wyandot and Seneca counties in the region between Mansfield and Lima (LY'-muh).
State geologists posted the revised maps on the agency website after reviewing information from 100 new locations.
The new maps support earlier indications that eastern Ohio including Stark, Carroll and Tuscarawas (tus-kuh-RAW'-uhs) counties from Canton south should be a hot spot for oil and liquid natural-gas production.
A map released last year indicated there might be fair to good production in parts of Marion, Delaware and Union counties north and northwest of Columbus.

I've just been told by Wrasse Records that record store buyers in USA and France didn't think the picture on the cover of World 2004 reflected the music inside, and said that they thought it might have put potential customers off.
This is a bit of a surprise to me, as I've liked the covers of both The Sound of the City series and the World albums. But as none of them has exactly raced out of the record stores, I don't have any objective basis for defending them.
Wrasse prefer the more cheerful covers that Putumayo do.
It isn't usually within the role of the compiler to have any say in the cover design, but I've tended be hands-on, looking for a classy feel that may be tangential to the content but somehow enhances it.
Any comments from people who bought them?
