This workshop will focus on both assessment and evidence-based interventions for students who struggle to learn to read and spell because of dyslexia.

Dr. Mather will address the importance of assessing different cognitive and linguistic processes, including:

  • phonological awareness
  • orthographic coding
  • processing speed
  • rapid automatized naming
  • the phases of development of basic reading and spelling skills
  • and the implementation of differentiated instructional methodologies for addressing specific types of reading and spelling problems.

In addition, she will describe the recently published Tests of Dyslexia (Mather, McCallum, Bell, & Wendling, 2023).

Topics include Tests of Dyslexia, Evaluation, Interpretation, and Intervention.
