TURBO: A Dyslexia Curriculum

Complete Attendance not available before workshop starts.

Turbo Start: A Dyslexia Curriculum for Newly Identified Students with Dyslexia is a nine-week, evidence-based dyslexia intervention that can be used as part of a standard protocol dyslexia instruction program. The Turbo Start program provides a jump start for newly identified students with dyslexia who need comprehensive dyslexia intervention while awaiting placement in an intervention group. Turbo Start addresses five specific evidence-based components of reading intervention. Each component is taught developmentally, using a direct, systematic, cumulative, multisensory method of introduction and practice to meet specific needs of newly identified students with dyslexia. Turbo Start is a complementary dyslexia instruction program, which provides comprehensive, intensive, evidence-based instruction for students who are identified off-cycle and addresses characteristic weaknesses of students with dyslexia to support optimal growth once placed in a sequential reading intervention program.
Turbo Start was designed for:
o Newly identified individuals with dyslexia of all ages
o One-on-one or small group instruction (no more than 6 students)
o Use by a Certified Academic Language Therapist
o Four days a week – sixty minutes per day
o Five days a week – forty-five minutes per day

Attendees MUST produce proof of certificate of completion of training at the Dyslexia Therapy level using Take Flight from an accredited training center or copy of a valid CALT membership card.

**Attendees MUST purchase TURBO materials from Scottish Rite prior to attending the training. The materials must be brought to the training.
