This session is for certified teachers who are currently teaching in a public school district or charter school

Participants will learn the fundamentals of a dyslexia program through a review of Texas dyslexia laws and current research, as well as best practices in dyslexia instruction. We will delve into evidence-based components of instruction and explore the continuum for developing reading ability in students with dyslexia. Participants will learn to deliver daily intervention using Reading by Design, a multisensory, systematic, explicit, and intensive reading program designed for students with dyslexia.

Teachers attending these 5 days will receive program materials necessary to implement the program with 1 small group of students. *Depending on number of participants, an additional day may be necessary to complete the scheduled model lesson. Participants must attend for the entire time in order to be able to implement RbD to students. Total hours = 30.

Earning a certificate for this course requires participants to attend all training dates, successfully complete all assignments on time and pass a practicum model lesson. Participants have a limited number of attempts to pass the practicum. Make-up days are not available, so please be sure you are able to attend all dates.

***This will be a 5 day training. Participants must be a certified teacher and must attend for the entire time all 5 days in order to be able to implement RbD.
