Structured Literacy: Effective Instruction for Students with Dyslexia and Related Reading Difficulties
Structured Literacy is an umbrella approach to reading built around scope and sequence. “Adhering to the instructional sequence encourages skill mastery, minimizes confusion and incorrect attempts and gradually builds complexity of students knowledge and skills” (Lorimor-Easley, p.3, 2019). Structured Literacy utilizes evidence based programs and practices that is “explicit, systematic teaching that focuses on phonological awareness” (Lorimor-Easley, p.1, 2019). Structured Literacy approaches help all students, especially those with learning disabilities or those with Dyslexia learn to read and write. Structured Literacy is important for Dyslexic learners because it explicitly focuses on the decoding skills Dyslexic readers need to be successful. According to the International Dyslexia Association “Structured literacy explicitly teachers systematic word-identification/decoding strategies. These benefit most students and are vital for those with Dyslexia” (Cowen, 2016). All elements of a structured literacy lesson and program work together to build fluent readers to help support reading comprehension .
