Maryland's Ready to Read Act helps teachers identify at risk students early, so that effective reading instruction can be provided to prevent reading difficulty. The Ready to Read Act can also tell a school system if the core reading instruction needs to be tweaked or changed.

"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.
Morphology: 60 Years of Reflection with Special Guest Marcia Henry
Dyslexia is one of the most studied cognitive phenomena in educational and psychological research. A group of researchers has recently completed an analysis of more than 50 studies over the past 40 years and will be sharing their results. The findings and presentation will touch on factors like the student characteristics and intervention characteristics (dosage, instructional components, multisensory, group size) that affect outcomes.
Please join us for Dr. Colby Hall and colleagues Karen Kehoe, and Katlynn Dahl-Leonard.
