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.
