The Writers Studio, founded by Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Philip Schultz, is offering an online course to help parents and teachers lure students with dyslexia into enjoying reading and writing. Participants receive a workbook with ready-to-use exercises (for middle- or high-school ages). Participants will have an opportunity to try several of the exercises to gain experience in the method and then implement one or more exercises from the workbook with kids under the guidance of the workshop instructor.

These exercises have proven to be effective at helping students with language-based learning difficulties to write successful poems and short fiction. This 8-week course trains participants to use this method in the classroom or at home. Participants who complete the workshop receive a certificate.

The class meets online for 8 consecutive Mondays from 9-10 pm EST. The next class begins Monday, October 12, 2015. More information about the class can be found here: https://www.writerstudio.com/kids-write/.
