In this session, participants will learn the fundamentals of dyslexia intervention through a review of Texas dyslexia laws and current research, as well as best practices in dyslexia instruction. We will delve into evidence-based components of instruction and explore the continuum for developing reading ability in students with dyslexia. Participants will learn to deliver daily intervention using Reading by Design, a multisensory, systematic, explicit, and intensive reading program designed for students with dyslexia.
Teachers attending all 8 days of training will receive program materials necessary to implement the program with 1 small group of students.
Participants must attend all days, demonstrate mastery of course requirements, and complete all outside assignments to receive credit and be certified in the Reading by Design curriculum. Make-up days are not available, so please be sure you are able to attend all dates.
