Dyslexia and Dyslexic Tendencies: Design Instruction for All Children Presented by: Debbie Linscott-Feinstein and Lauren Kolbeck-8:30-2:30pm

Join us for a day to build your knowledge and confidence when teaching dyslexic children. According to the International Dyslexia Association, perhaps as many as 15-20% of students have some of the symptoms of dyslexia, including slow or inaccurate reading, poor spelling, poor writing, or mixing up similar words. Let’s be the best advocates we can be for these and all students by synthesizing all we know into our everyday curriculum.Targets include: -understanding the brain of the dyslexic-sequential, systematic, explicit phonemic and phonics instruction-exploring existing programs that lend themselves to different learning styles-morphology as part of learning to read and spell-the use of articulatory memory and gestures for sounds and vocabulary -specific strategies for overlearning across texts within knowledge-building units This day will yield abundant practical strategies for immediate implementation in your class, school or district. Dyslexic and all children will benefitAudience: Grades K-6 general education teachers; English teachers; reading teachers; ENL teachers; special educators; ELA coaches; ELA, ENL and Special Education directors; building and district administrators.Eligible for 6 hours CTLE credit. Can use 1-1/2 Consortium seats. If district pays, district approval must be confirmed prior to start of session.
