Teaching Reading: What Works and Why
with Dr. Nancy Cushen White
9:00 am-12:15 pm
Learning to read is complex—and teaching reading to students with dyslexia is especially challenging. An effective reading teacher understands the reading process, has knowledge of multiple systems of language structure, knows effective tools for monitoring progress, and plans comprehensive and systematic instruction. This morning's workshop will describe effective instructional strategies for teaching students with dyslexia to read, spell, and write—and tell you how to make learning stick!
Experience DyslexiaTM
1:00-3:00 pm
Participate in six dyslexia simulation exercises and debrief with members of NCBIDA. Experience DyslexiaTM is NCBIDA's revised and updated eye-opening simulation that allows participants to have a sense of what it is like to live with this language-based learning disability. It is highly recommended for teachers, parents, or anyone interested in better understanding the lives of individuals with dyslexia.
