Dyslexia

Description:
Students with dyslexia will encounter difficulties with reading and spelling, and left unsupported may struggle with reading comprehension and vocabulary development. This will impact on the student’s learning capability across all areas of the curriculum. Teachers can create a learning environment and use instructional practices that maximise the learning outcomes for all students, those with and without dyslexia. This session will look at dyslexia through the Response to Intervention framework and explore strategies at each of the three tiers of support. Suitable for classroom teachers, as well as Education Support staff who may be working one to one or with small groups.

Standards addressed:

• 1.5.2 Differentiate teaching to meet the specific learning needs of learners across the full range of abilities
• 1.6.2 Strategies to support full participation of learners with disability
