A new law has passed in Michigan that will require some schools in Detroit to begin screening students for dyslexia. While the law only affects school districts that already have testing in place to screen students for signs of dyslexia, lawmakers and advocates believe that this law is a step in the right direction for improving literacy in a state that is widely known to have a student-literacy problem. As many as 1-in-5 students in Michigan struggle with dyslexia and this new is aimed at identifying those who may have otherwise slipped through the cracks and whose dyslexia may have gone unnoticed and untreated otherwise.
