Responding to dyslexia: A framework for success

Identifying students who may be at risk for dyslexia is only the beginning.

Once screening results are in hand, educators face a series of important questions about next steps: Which data points matter most? What kind of support is most appropriate? How do I know whether support is working?

Join NWEA’s Tiffany Peltier, PhD, for a practical webinar exploring how screening data can be used to better understand student needs, inform instructional decisions, and monitor progress over time. 

Using a step-by-step framework, you’ll learn how to move from identification to action by aligning instruction and intervention to specific reading needs and using progress monitoring data to guide ongoing support. 

The session will conclude with a brief look at how MAP® Reading Fluency™ with Coach can contribute assessment, personalized reading practice, and progress monitoring within the broader instructional cycle.
