Let’s explore how to move beyond a potential over-focus on dyslexia diagnosis and labels to ensure all students receive the effective instruction and intervention they need. We will focus on research-based, structured literacy approaches that benefit all learners in grades PreK-8.
Participants will:
Consider why a dyslexia diagnosis alone is not enough to guarantee success for striving readers and why effective instruction must be the priority for all students.
Learn how structured literacy and multisensory strategies can be applied across different grade levels.
Hear from an experienced educator as she shares her journey in supporting striving readers and implementing approaches that transformed outcomes in her school.
Become familiar with the four essential ingredients of any effective literacy initiative.
Walk away with concrete steps that school and district leaders can take tomorrow to support student-centered, effective literacy instruction and intervention.
