READING INTERVENTION
Check back for more information or contact Dr. Diane Sekeres at dcsekere@ua.edu to be put on an email list. Space is limited with all levels of instructor.
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.
