READING INTERVENTION
INTENSIVE READING INSTRUCTION
The clinic provides reading intervention classes designed for elementary school children (entering grades K-6) who need intensive instruction in reading due to characteristics of dyslexia and dyslexia. Teachers will use a structured literacy approach with dyslexia-specific intervention methods and materials including SPIRE and Basic Language Skills. If space allows, students who need additional support but not intensive intervention can be placed with undergraduate students.
