Description

Supporting students with dyslexia doesn’t have to feel overwhelming! In this episode, we’re sharing science-backed dyslexia support strategies to help struggling readers build confidence and fluency. Learn how to use multisensory instruction, structured phonics, and effective accommodations to create a dyslexia-friendly learning environment.

*Note: Since this episode first aired, The International Dyslexia Association released a new and updated version of their definition of dyslexia. You can find that definition here.

In this episode, we’ll talk about:

  • What dyslexia really is (and what it isn’t).
  • Why phonemic awareness and phonics are essential for dyslexic learners.
  • How to use multisensory techniques to improve reading skills.
  • Accommodations that help dyslexic students succeed in the classroom.
