Dyslexia Overview

This two-hour asynchronous course is designed for educators to become acquainted with dyslexia, as defined by the New Jersey Administrative Code. The myths of dyslexia are dispelled by looking at the reading brain and the research that tells us how to support a learner with dyslexia. This session provides multimodal learning strategies that best service students. The importance of the Five Essentials of Reading is emphasized, with demonstrations of instruction in phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, and vocabulary. There is an 11-question multiple-choice assessment that follows the video.
