SUPPORTING STRIVING READERS AND STUDENTS WITH DYSLEXIA IN CORE
INSTRUCTION
FEBRUARY 28, 2020
9:00 A.M. – 12:00 P.M.
$75 PER PERSON
This interactive session is designed to provide specific
evidence-based strategies for K-5 teachers, reading specialists, and
literacy coaches to support striving readers in phonemic awareness,
phonics, and vocabulary learning. These are three areas in which
students with the characteristics of dyslexia often struggle and
therefore require explicit, systematic, and multisensory instruction.
Participants are asked to bring materials that they will be using in
the next month during their core instruction so that they can
collaboratively plan lessons and apply the strategies to their daily
instruction. Materials can be designed for either whole group
mini-lessons or small guided reading groups. Materials might include:
teacher’s guides, picture books, narrative or informational texts,
leveled texts, etc.
An optional, one hour follow-up session will be offered online to
further support teachers in their application of the instructional
practices. Minnesota clock hours are included for the in-person
session.
