Understanding Dyslexia: Research Supported Screeners, Strategies and Methods that Work

  • Eastern Suffolk BOCES 750 Waverly Avenue Holtsville, NY, 11742 United States (map)

In this workshop, teachers will explore the latest research on how to effectively support students with dyslexia. We’ll examine the most widely used screeners and what insights they provide, along with key indicators at each grade level that may signal a need for targeted intervention.

Teachers will learn:

● What dyslexia is (and is not)

● Signs of dyslexia at different age/grade levels from preschool to 4th grade and beyond

● What to look for in screeners

● How to give and interpret data from screeners to drive interventions

● Critical elements of teaching dyslexic learners

● Orthographic mapping routines that work for dyslexic learners

● How explicit instruction supports all–and specifically dyslexic–learners

● Strategies and instructional methods that work for the dyslexic brain

Teachers will walk away with research-based strategies they can use to identify at-risk and effectively teach dyslexic learners.
