What is Dyslexia?
Dyslexia is generally defined as a disorder that involves difficulty in learning to read but does not affect general intelligence. Students with dyslexia—much like students with many other learning disabilities—benefit from an explicit, systematic reading program. Educators who understand the foundational skills affected by dyslexia can better help students become more fluent readers.
Teaching Students with Dyslexia
Lexia’s LETRS® (Language Essentials for Teachers of Reading and Spelling) Suite is professional learning rooted in the science of reading that empowers teachers with proven ways to teach people with dyslexia how to read. LETRS provides educators and administrators with deep knowledge to be literacy and language experts in the science of reading. It teaches the skills needed to master the fundamentals of reading instruction—phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, writing, and language—and how to apply these skills to support students with dyslexia.
Putting The Science of Reading into Practice
Lexia’s explicit, systematic programs, like Lexia® Core5® Reading, provide students a Structured Literacy approach to the six areas of reading: phonological awareness, phonics, vocabulary, structured analysis, automaticity/fluency, and comprehension. Informed by the science of reading, Core5 Reading creates individualized learning paths to support students of all ability levels, including students with dyslexia and other learning disabilities such as Developmental Language Disorders (DLD). After one year, users with dyslexia and other reading and language-based disabilities were two times more likely to be proficient readers than non-users.
