CR- Intensifying Structured Literacy Instruction for Struggling Readers (LR)
Cedar Falls CRAEA Sept 4, 2025




This professional development course aims to equip K-12 educators with the knowledge and skills to provide intensive, structured literacy instruction within a Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS). Using evidence-based strategies rooted in the Orton-Gillingham methodology, teachers will learn how to design systematic and explicit instruction tailored to students'' specific needs based on diagnostic data. The course emphasizes supporting struggling readers, including those with dyslexia, through targeted interventions that enhance student achievement. Additionally, implementation will be reinforced through coaching sessions, aligning with the Specially Designed Instruction (SDI) framework.

*While not required, 6 on-site coaching sessions are highly recommended. 

This is a 2-credit license renewal course
