Introducing the first-of-its-kind, user-friendly handbook that will revolutionize your reading intervention and help you rescue students with dyslexia — and other struggling readers — using frameworks that may already be largely in place.
With a look at all the major components of a comprehensive Dyslexia Support Plan, you learn how to address dyslexia challenges within a tiered-intervention framework, rather than solely within the context of special education. From plan development through monitoring, you gain:
- Guidance to screen students for dyslexia and select interventions
- Methods to monitor student progress in intervention
- Proven classroom teaching strategies for Grades K-3 and Grades 4-12
- Accommodations involving materials, the instructional environment and interactive instruction
- Implementation materials including a Dyslexia Evaluation Profile, Dyslexia Needs Assessment and Support Plan, Accommodations and Classroom Supports Survey, and more
Plus, you go in-depth into two major areas of concern: nurturing the home-school connection, and selecting assistive technologies to offset reading and writing challenges.
