Description
This Keynote session with Sarah Sayko will describe the resources NCIL can provide to schools and parents and the evidence base that supports screening, instruction, and intervention to increase literacy achievement for students who struggle to read and students with dyslexia. Participants in the session will benefit from information about national efforts to improve achievement for students with dyslexia and access to resources for effectively implementing evidence-based literacy practices in school settings.

The term evidence-based is defined by the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). According to ESEA, evidence-based programs are supported by strong, moderate, or promising research evidence of their effectiveness; or they demonstrate a rationale that they can improve a targeted outcome. NCIL supports the implementation of approaches with the highest levels of evidence supported by rigorous evaluations.
Dyslexia is a brain-based learning disability that specifically impairs a person’s ability to read.
