BUILD: A K-1 Early Reading Intervention
To meet the needs of the K-1 students who have been identified at risk for dyslexia, the staff of the Luke Waites Center for Dyslexia and Learning Disorders at Scottish Rite for Children has developed a 100-lesson reading intervention called Build: A K-1 Early Reading Intervention. Build is a small group intervention that addresses five specific components of reading intervention. Each component is taught developmentally using a direct, systematic, cumulative, multisensory method of introduction and practice to meet the specific needs of Kindergarten and first grade students struggling in reading.
The five components are:
- Alphabet: the identification of letters, sequencing skills and alphabetizing.
- Letter/sound knowledge: the direct instruction of individual letters and sounds, leading to the practice of reading words and sentences.
- Phonological awareness: the explicit introduction of the relationships between speech-sound production, from rhyme to spelling.
- Vocabulary: the direct teaching of strategies using context clues to infer the meaning of unfamiliar words.
- Comprehension: the explicit teaching of specific learning strategies used to identify the basic components of a story.
Participants MUST PURCHASE the BUILD: A K-1 EARLY READING INTERVENTION from Texas Scottish Rite Center for Dyslexia. You will receive an email for ordering instructions after registration.
This session is free for members of the special education cooperative. Materials will cost $750.00 per participant paid directly to Scottish Rite.

This training will be held at the ESC-20 Conference Center
