Kids with Dyslexia
Don't miss this amazing show!
Monarch High School is presenting
The Lightning Thief: Percy Jackson the Musical
The musical is based on Rick Riordan's best selling novels, and the show is filled with family friendly humor, special effects and awesome music! Here's a bit more about the story: The idea for Percy Jackson came when author Rick Riordan made up bedtime stories for his nine-year-old son Haley, who had been diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia. At the time, Haley refused to read and hated school, but was fascinated by the Greek myths he had been studying in second grade. He asked that his father tell him stories based on Greek mythology. ... In his new story, Riordan created a different kind of hero in Percy Jackson and made ADHD and dyslexia part of his powers.

Our Mission
The mission of our parent group Boulder Valley Kids Identified with Dyslexia (BVKID) is to create a culture of innovation and to promote awareness of dyslexia among parents, teachers, and administration in Boulder Valley and to serve students with dyslexia and related learning disorders to ensure that they reach their maximum potential.
Our Objectives
#1
To ensure universal dyslexia/reading disability screenings for all kindergartners and any new students entering the district and to monitor their progress using scientific-based assessment tools that are quantifiable and objective.
#2
To ensure that a scientifically-based core reading program is implemented in grades K – 3rd, district-wide, which aligns with the National Reading Panel Report to include: Phonological Awareness, Phonics, Fluency, Vocabulary and Comprehension.
#3
To ensure that the intervention for dyslexic students at all grade levels is scientifically-based with attention to frequency, intensity, duration, and fidelity.
#4
To create an equitable pathway through high school, to provide access to all curriculum with peers of similar intellectual capacity, and to achieve similar graduation rates to the overall student population.
#5
To ensure that staff and administrators receive the best, most up-to-date professional development to empower them to feel confident in their ability to teach any child to read.
