Registration is now open for the Mississippi Science of Reading Training: Demystifying Dyslexia for teachers and leaders – April 2025 Cohort.
Demystifying Dyslexia – This April 2025 Cohort (100 seats available) is a self-paced, virtual training for K-5 general education teachers, reading interventionists, K-8 special education teachers, and leaders.

The course will run from April 4 through June 13 and will include three hours of e-learning coursework. Seats are limited.
