“Structured literacy, an evidence-based dyslexia intervention, combined with thoughtful accommodations, benefits students with ADHD and reading disabilities. Learn about these approaches here.”
“Learning to read is the most difficult cognitive task for many children who are just starting school. Without a strong foundation, students may never use reading as an effective learning tool. Some students, particularly those with dyslexia, face challenges that undermine reading development and require remediation. The good news: Appropriate interventions work.
Dyslexia, a genetically rooted reading disability, affects the ability to decode (sound out) and spell words. Students with dyslexia are typically inaccurate in reading and spelling. They do not understand how to manipulate the sounds that form words. Their oral reading is often slow. They may focus so much on decoding individual words, not content and meaning, that their comprehension is compromised.”
