Magic is in Instruction: Science of Reading Meets Science of Instruction Anita Archer, Ph.D., kicks off our first webinar in our IDA-GA/TRL-GA 2023 Spotlight on Structured Literacy Series.

"Structured Literacy & Dyslexia" is the fourth video in the series. This video explains what is meant by a structured literacy approach to reading instruction and what this means for students with dyslexia. First, the features of explicit, systematic, and cumulative instruction are described, followed by an explanation of how these features can be applied within the delivery of effective reading instruction. Next, the content elements of a structured literacy approach are reviewed, which include decoding, spelling, writing, and comprehension. Finally, the features of instruction specifically for students with dyslexia are delineated.

"Dyslexia & the Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA)" is the third video in the series. This video explores the relationship between dyslexia and services offered under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. The video is organized around common questions that arise when discussing dyslexia and the law.

The International Dyslexia Association Georgia, The Reading League Georgia, and the Georgia Department of Education have partnered to bring you this live webinar. This event is FREE and OPEN to all. Certificates of Attendance will be available for those who complete a post-webinar knowledge check/survey form.
