Objectives:
- Examine current literacy rates in the United States and the prevalence rate of dyslexia.
- Introduce a brain-based educational model of reading by examining specific neural circuits that underscore phonological
development, orthographic development, and reading comprehension skills. - Discuss four subtypes of reading disabilities, and link scores of evidenced-based interventions and relevant classroom
strategies to address each subtype. - Discuss the differences between a traditional achievement test versus a diagnostic achievement test, and introduce the
Feifer Assessment of Reading (FAR) as a more viable means to both diagnose and remediate subtypes of reading
disorders.
