NOTE: Throughout this product, I utilized a font that is supportive for children with dyslexia, so these materials should be conducive to students who may display dyslexic characteristics.

*** UPDATE: This file has been revised to include TWO versions: The first version contains with the font supportive of children with dyslexia. The second version (beginning on page 70) contains the Verdana font, which is also proven to be a supportive font for dyslexic readers. This provides you with options, should your computer/printer not read the dyslexic font. ***
