Every teacher who has taught early literacy has probably experienced that for some students, reading came easily, while for others it just didn’t seem to “click.”

The science of reading and our understanding of brain development related to reading skills have shed light on why that is. In fact, we now know which markers to look for and the most effective ways to support students who may be at risk for reading difficulties. 

In this webinar, we broke down what dyslexia is and what we know about what’s happening in the brain when children are learning how to read—and when they aren’t. We also discussed how an MTSS practice can help proactively identify students at risk for dyslexia and provide the early and targeted support they need. 

Attendees learned: 

• The inner workings of dyslexia

• How to identify early markers of dyslexia

• Ways to embed this work into an MTSS practice
