Dyslexia Guidelines Question #16 Q16: Does my school district need to wait for the statewide dyslexia guidelines to be issued before they implement dyslexia specific trainings and appropriate Structured Literacy interventions? Question #20 Q20: I understand that the California Department of Education has released dyslexia guidelines. Do you have a summary of these guidelines that I can share with my school district?
