Dyslexia
Waller Independent School District
WISD Dyslexia
services
are designed by the Region IV Education Center specifically for those
students who have a difficulty “of constitutional origin manifested by a
difficulty in learning to read, write, or spell, despite conventional
instruction, adequate intelligence, and socio-cultural opportunity.”
(The Dyslexia Handbook, Texas Education Agency, Feb. 2001)
Dyslexia services
include the necessary components for students diagnosed with dyslexia:
multi-sensory based instruction that includes phonemic awareness
(segmenting, blending and manipulating sounds in spoken language),
graphophonemic knowledge (phonics), language structure, and linguistic
patterns and processes. A variety of writing and spelling components are
also included.
Dyslexia classes are
limited in size to assure individualized attention and success for each
student. |
