Some students pick up reading with ease, while others struggle to make sense of the words on the page. If you’ve taught early literacy, you’ve seen this firsthand. Thanks to the science of reading and research on brain development, we now understand why this happens. More importantly, we know the key indicators to watch for and the most effective ways to support students at risk for reading difficulties.
In this webinar, we’ll break down what dyslexia is and what we know about what’s happening in the brain when children are learning how to read—and when they aren’t. We’ll also discuss how a MTSS practice can help us proactively identify students at risk for dyslexia and get them the early and targeted support they need.
Learning Objectives:
Join this webinar to learn:
- The inner workings of early literacy
- How to identify early markers of dyslexia
- Ways to support students with dyslexia in your MTSS practice
