Topics Taught

  • Neurology, Physiology, and Speech and Language in relationship to Dyslexia
  • Psycho-educational testing for identification of Dyslexic students and their profiles for planning diagnostic and prescriptive teaching
  • Phonological awareness, phonological segmentation, orthographic features, decoding, syllable types, syllable division, spelling generalizations, syntax and the sound/symbol associations of the English Language for language retraining  

To allow the trainee to think independently about the dyslexic student's characteristics and needs, background information on the history of the field of dyslexia is presented beginning with the English school physician, W. Pringle Morgan, in 1896, and continuing through current fMRI's and PET scans.

 Attendees are taught to interpret psycho-educational test results, including the Wechsler intelligence tests and the Woodcock Johnson Achievement Tests. Administration of screening tests, such as the Gallistel-Ellis Test of Coding Skills, The Gates-MacGinitie Silent Reading Tests, New Stanford Spelling Test, and the Ayers Spelling Scale is taught.

Teachers are instructed in the art of individualizing lessons for students while remaining true to a structured, multisensory sequential lesson application. This approach treats all written language (reading, spelling, handwriting, and composition) as interrelated disciplines. Individualized prescriptive teaching requires simultaneously using the visual, auditory, and kinesthetic pathways to learning.

Teaching phonological awareness skills and the orthographic features of the Code of the English language are equally important and require a thorough knowledge of linguistics, syllable patterns, spelling rules and generalizations.

Teaching dyslexic students is far too complex to attempt without a mentor. This Institute will start you on the way to proficiency in "teaching out" the reading disability and ameliorating the spelling and handwriting difficulties. Continuing education courses are offered on Saturdays for an additional fee to guide successful Institute graduates in applying their knowledge. Full supervised practicums are available on a case by case basis.

This original, authentic, diagnostic-prescriptive and linguistic teacher education Institute satisfies the course work requirements for the Associate Level membership in The Academy of Orton-Gillingham Practitioners and Educators (AOGPE) and for the Teaching level, International Multisensory Structured Language Education Council (IMSLEC). It is accredited by both accrediting bodies and offers 6.4 renewal credits for NC teacher licensure.
