Dyslexia

Dyslexia is defined in Ark. Code Ann. 6-41-602 as a learning disability that is neurological in origin, characterized by difficulties with accurate and fluent word recognition, poor spelling and decoding abilities that typically result from the phonological component of language. These characteristics are often unexpected in relation to other cognitive abilities.

Jackson County School District uses the Barton System of Reading and Spelling, Phonics First, and the Take Flight: A Comprehensive Intervention for Students with Dyslexia.
