Library Project

Join P.O.D.S. Modification 504 plan Library Project Dyslexia Resources Parent Tips

P.O.D.S. would like to thank the Lewisville Public Library for their support and enthusiasm in building a special area dedicated to the special needs of our Dyslexic students and parents.

The primary objective is to help our children build a long-term positive relationship with the library to help the child feel comfortable using the library the DYSLEXIC way and make it a FUN place to be while creating a habit of turning to the library to meet their academics needs, now, during higher education and future careers. The secondary objective is to offer a central location for parents and children to access resources such as books, videos, books on tapes and various tools.

Over the next few years, P.O.D.S. and L.I.S.D will be working in conjunction with the Lewisville Main Library to accomplish the following. 

  • The library staff will work with the LISD MTA staff to better understand the needs of a dyslexic student as it relates to the use of the library and learn how the library can better accommodate those special needs.
  • The library staff will be available meeting night to work with our children while the parents are participating in the P.O.D.S. meetings.
  • LISD will share their current library of resources being held in the L.I.S.D. M.T.A. Progam with the library making them more accessible to the P.O.D.S. membership and public.
  • The library has agreed to purchase material and tools upon our request through "The Friends of the Library". Along with the money we raise in P.O.D.S., the "FRIENDS of the Library" will assist by adding funds as well as contributions by Lewisville Public Library.
  • Any material we purchase will have a THANK YOU P.O.D.S. note in the front or some thing we agree upon to help raise awareness to our group.  
  • The library has set up computers with the KURZWEIL system. The system went live this summer.  
  • We will be meeting at the MAIN Library in Lewisville. All meetings will be open to the public and our children will be encouraged to come.
