By Mark Hendrickson To teach our kids to become passionate and capable readers, we read to them. Whether at bedtime, at the library, or in the classroom, early childhood years are often infused with stories.

Distributed denial of service attacks against K–12 school districts have risen sharply over the past two years. The attacks come from outside actors and, increasingly, from students who discover they can buy a DDoS attack as a service online, as a way to get out of classes and tests. In Florida, for example, a teenage student at St. Petersburg High School launched an attack that crashed the entire network of the Pinellas County Schools district.

At one elementary school in rural Appalachia, most of the children are white and poor; 90 percent qualify for free or reduced priced lunch. Guess how many of the 800 students are gifted? The answer: three. At least, that’s the determination of a widely-used national intelligence test , on which few students living in poverty score highly. School administrators wanted to boost the number of gifted students and invited a team of researchers to come up with another way to find them.

But while there isn’t much one can do to improve one’s complex reading post-wine, there are thankfully quite a few helpful strategies for learning with dyslexia , particularly for younger learners whose minds are still developing.
