In October 2016 Michigan lawmakers passed Public Act 306 to ensure that all students are reading at benchmark by the end of 3rd grade. However, long before the Michigan reading law was passed, Lake Orion Community Schools was already working hard to improve instructional practices and increase reading achievement across the district. Not only have reading scores improved, but the district’s early literacy intervention program has received international recognition.

Join Lake Orion’s Tamura Oberle, Educational Leadership and Teacher Consultant, and Jillian Knapp, School Psychologist, Special Education Coach and District Data Specialist, for this hour-long webinar as they:

• Share a structure of an effective early literacy intervention model
• Review how to triangulate student data
• Discuss how to target the five areas of reading including assessment, research based strategies/intervention, and progress monitoring of the five areas
• Share how to ensure continued student growth and continued professional learning for staff

Linda Diamond, author of the Teaching Reading Sourcebook and Assessing Reading: Multiple Measures, will join the Lake Orion team who will also discuss how these professional books have helped shape the district’s reading instruction.

This is a wonderful opportunity to learn how another district is tackling the challenge of ensuring all students, including English learners and those with disabilities, have strong reading skills.

One in five students has a language-based learning disability, the most common of which is dyslexia. 37 states now have laws on dyslexia and more have legislation in the works. With so much focus on dyslexia, teachers must be knowledgeable about how to screen for, identify and support students with dyslexia.

This recorded webinar provides a foundation for addressing dyslexia in your district. Dr. Louisa Moats, President of Moats Associates Consulting, Inc., and Dr. Dale Webster, Chief Academic Officer for CORE, review:

• What dyslexia is and what it is not
• What causes difficulty learning to read and spell written words
• How to recognize the signs of dyslexia
• The principles of effective intervention and instruction for students with dyslexia using the multi-tiered system of supports (MTSS) framework
