Discovery and Linkages

Code and ReadYou will frequently see the code and read pages, both words and sentences, come home for additional practice.An email will be sent with additional information just before Home Practice begins.

RAPThese are the pages you will see most often come home for practice. We will complete the illustrated portion in class. Your student will then be responsible for reading the entire page to an adult. If your student struggles with the words, you can model the first row of each section. This quick exercise is essential to your student’s progress in the program, as well as improving reading rate and accuracy.

Spelling: Phoneme Awareness

SpellingWe use a slightly different method when we spell words in our DT class. Instead of pulling sound pictures, your student will learn to finger spell. A finger is held up for each sound in the word. This allows your student to utilize this method in the classroom. Fingers travel easily with your student, and never get lost in the journey!

I hope you found these videos helpful in illustrating what we do in D.T. each day.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have regarding the presented information, as well as any other questions related to dyslexia and the dyslexia intervention process.

I look forward to watching your student growing and going great places while in the program!
