Montgomery ISD Dyslexia Newsletter

The MISD Dyslexia Interventionists are excited to continue our journey together, supporting each student in their unique learning path. We’re committed to providing resources, strategies, and encouragement to help our students with dyslexia thrive. Whether you’re a returning family or new to our community, we’re here to ensure that all students feel confident, capable, and ready to succeed. Let’s make this year one of growth, achievement, and joy in learning. Here’s to a fantastic year ahead!

We encourage you to take some time to review the Section 504/Dyslexia Services portion of the MISD website. There, you'll find direct links to important documents that can guide you in supporting your child(ren).
