11. Dyslexic students “can learn these relationships with intensive phonics training... After more than a century of frustration, it has now been shown that the brain can be rewired.” Dr. Sally Shaywitz Research Shows:

12. What Does This Mean?

13. So What Do We Do? We teach the way the research has shown to be the most effective type of instruction. We teach to the way our students’ brains learn. We empower teachers with skills and strategies so that they can empower our students!

29. If students are taught phonics explicitly, sequentially, and systematically they can become automatic readers. Once we point out the systematic framework of our language, they can’t help but see it! If we teach to the way our students learn, they can be successful. We can empower our teachers with evidence- based and time-tested strategies that can change our students’ lives forever. Every Student Can Read!

32. Teacher’s Instruction

33. Train teachers in explicit phonics instruction, vocabulary instruction and how to address ELL’s and struggling reader’s specific needs. Continue to support and increase teacher knowledge and skill set for fidelity of implementation and program success. Provide training that will make all of your teachers reading specialists and dramatically change your school’s/district’s reading culture. Teacher’s Instruction
