Abstrakt: State dyslexia handbooks outline how schools within a given state are required to approach dyslexia identif ication and instruction, and often include other information such as statewide adopted def initions of the term and educator requirements. The current study is a content analysis of 30 state dyslexia handbooks and resource guides. The study's purpose is to identify the following: (a) the most commonly used def initions among the states (including primary characteristics and secondary consequences), (b) how states are identifying and instructing students with dyslexia, and (c) the educator preparation requirements and recommendations within the examined states. Major f indings of the study include the following: (a) the range of def initions, categories, and instructional resources vary widely among states; (b) teacher learning is not adequately addressed in the majority of handbooks; and (c) writing instruction is largely missing from the published handbooks.
