Students with Characteristics of Dyslexia
Response to Instruction and Intervention (RTI²) mandates require universal screenings for students in Kindergarten - 8th grade. The universal screener for Knox County, aimswebPlus, has indicators for the five areas of reading: phonemic awareness, phonics, reading fluency, vocabulary, and reading comprehension. It is likely that students with dyslexia will struggle in at least one of these areas. Reading intervention through RTI² incorporates evidence-based strategies and intervention programs to address student needs. If a student is identified with characteristics of dyslexia, parents are notified and appropriate intervention is provided. Below are some helpful resources for parents:
