The Institute on Dyslexia originally scheduled for December 10th and 11th has been rescheduled for March 20-21, 2019 in Richmond. Registration is currently closed. You may email Kim Bausum-Brown to be placed on the waitlist. *Agenda will be posted by the end of February.
In preparation for the upcoming Institute on Dyslexia, we would like to encourage attendees to read the following articles prior to this event.
Hard Words, Why Kids Aren't Being Taught to Read by Emily Hanford "Scientific research has shown how children learn to read and how they should be taught. But many educators don't know the science and, in some cases, actively resist it. As a result, millions of kids are being set up to fail."
Structured Literacy and Typical Literacy Practices, Understanding Differences to Create Instructional Opportunities by Louise Spear-Swirling, Teaching Exceptional Children, 2018. The article compares Structured Literacy to more traditional reading programs/approaches.
Also, you might listen to this podcast: Intervention for Students with Dyslexia, A Structured Literacy Approach by Louise Spear-Swirling
*Participants will receive a copy of each of David Kilpatrick's books: Essentials of Assessing, Preventing, and Overcoming Reading Difficulties and Equipped for Reading Success.
