Bridges: A Dyslexia Intervention & Write Idea (Dysgraphia) Intervention - Webinar Overview

This webinar will provide an overview of Bridges and Write Idea to help districts determine if one or both of these programs fit their needs.

Bridges: A Dyslexia Intervention Connecting Teacher, Avatar and Student, is a two-year, evidence-based curriculum for children ages 7 and older produced by Scottish Rite. Bridges utilizes lesson content from Scottish Rite’s Take Flight: A Comprehensive Intervention for Students with Dyslexia curriculum.
