Breakfast Seminar:Help Your Struggling and Dyslexic Readers

Breakfast Seminar: SPIRE Overview

Early identification is the key to helping students with dyslexia and struggling readers so they don’t fall too far behind their peers and lose opportunities to excel in school. The Colorado Reading to Ensure Academic Development Act (READ Act), passed by the Colorado legislature in 2012, focuses on early literacy development for all students and especially for students at risk to not read at grade level by the end of the third grade. The READ Act requires the creation and implementation of an individual intervention plan, called a READ plan, for students identified with a significant reading deficiency.

Join us to learn about SPIRE a direct, explicit, systematic and multi-sensory Orton-Gillingham instruction program that incorporates phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, spelling, and comprehension, all within a carefully designed, easy-to-implement format based on how struggling students learn.
