Examiner Features
In addition to The Examiner’s timely and informative articles, reports, recaps, Q&As, and blogs, we publish features of special interest, which, depending on the feature, run on a regular or an ad-hoc basis. For example:

“Dyslexia In The News”
When dyslexia makes headlines, Dyslexia in the News helps readers not only stay abreast of the coverage with recaps and links to original sources, but also goes beyond the headlines with thoughtful commentary from experts in the field.

“Dyslexia Research Alert!”
Exciting research across disciplines is contributing vital information to a growing body of knowledge about the science of teaching and learning, particularly as it concerns dyslexia and literacy. The Examiner’s Research Alert! helps readers stay abreast of research developments and findings and understand their implications for practice. These alerts sometimes are accompanied by commentary from noted scholars and experts to help sort out the relevant and reliable from the irrelevant and unreliable.

“Dyslexia/Literacy Legislative Update!”
A number of states are spearheading initiatives to bring enlightened dyslexia-literacy laws and policies to classrooms across the country. As these efforts unfold, we will update our readers, often with articles and interviews from those directly involved.

“Dyslexia In First Person: Extraordinary Achievers”
In this feature, we profile extraordinary achievers who have dyslexia. Through Q&As and first-person accounts, we tell the inspiring stories of dyslexia—focusing not only on the struggles, but also on the triumphs. Indeed, many of these triumphs might relate to dyslexia.

“IDA’s Video Library”
The Internet puts all kinds of videos about dyslexia and related issues at our fingertips these days, but not all these videos present accurate information. IDA’s Video Library curates compelling and informative videos, all of which provide information you can count on! As IDA compiles its library of videos—some made by IDA, others vetted by our experts—The Examiner will feature some of the best of this new material.

As always, we are eager to hear what you think. If you have a recommendation for an article topic or wish to provide an article for consideration to appear in a future issue or just want to share reactions and thoughts, please send an email to the attention of Kristen Penczek at info@interdys.org.
