Courses
All courses are 45 minutes in duration. Students must attend Dyslexia intervention a minimum of 4 days per week. Other tutorials/interventions require a minimum of two days per week attendance. The Dyslexia Handbook also states, “…because effective intervention requires highly structured and systematic delivery, it is critical that those who provide intervention for students with dyslexia be trained in the program used and that the program is implemented with fidelity.” (Texas Education Agency 2018, 42)
Fidelity Component Research:
I. Groups meet 4 to 5 days per week. Reading instruction must be delivered with great intensity. Optimally, a child who is struggling to read should be in a group no larger than four to five students with an instructor. The child should receive this specialized reading instruction 4 to 5 days a week. A larger group will greatly undermine the possibility of success, since they will have far fewer opportunities to interact with their teacher and therefore will often lose interest or attention during the long pauses between being called on. (Shaywitz 2020, 282; The Dyslexia Handbook 2018, 50)
II. Groups meet for 30–45 minutes per session. Although the amount of instructional intervention a student requires to make progress varies, research suggests the following ranges for elementary students: Length and frequency of intervention: 30–120 minutes per day. Secondary students who struggle with reading might need more time in intensive intervention to make progress. (Vaughn et al. 2012)
