Dyslexia Course

What is Foundations of Dyslexia for Educators?

Foundations of Dyslexia for Educators is an introductory course for educators who teach students with dyslexia in their classrooms everyday and need to know what dyslexia is and how to support it. From classroom teachers in upper elementary classrooms to school counselors to AP teachers at the high school level, this course gives the foundational knowledge all teachers need to support bright students who struggle to read. This four-hour training provides information for educators about how to understand and support dyslexic students. Each module includes videos, activities, transcripts, closed captioning, check for understanding, and certificate of completion. Upon completion of all 4 modules, you will be able to purchase Washington state clock hours at the rate of $5 per hour.

The course includes four modules of instruction:
