The organization aims to promote understanding and support for people with dyslexia with resources for students, educators, reading interventionists, coaches and tutors.
BETHESDA, Md., Oct. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- In recognition of Dyslexia Awareness Month, EPS Learning, the leading provider of PreK-12 literacy solutions, aims to advance literacy for striving readers, including students with dyslexia, by empowering educators, reading interventionists, coaches and tutors with essential resources.
The EPS Dyslexia Hub offers a comprehensive collection of curriculum resources, programs, articles, and insights designed to help educators support students with dyslexia and create an inclusive learning environment for all. Notably, the Dyslexia Hub recently published two new informational articles on supporting students with dyslexia during middle school, when many students are challenged by more advanced coursework and responsibilities:
- How to Help Middle School Students with Dyslexia Succeed
- Dyslexia in Middle School: Creating a Supportive Learning Environment
Additionally, EPS Learning's literacy experts will be leading an instructional webinar with EdWeek offering insights for educators and school leaders working with students with dyslexia. The webinar will discuss the potential limits of focusing too heavily on diagnosis—why effective, structured instruction matters for all students, not just those diagnosed with dyslexia—and how it can serve as a proactive solution to ensure children with learning or thinking differences thrive in the general classroom.
Presenters include EPS Learning's Chief Academic Officer Dr. Janine Walker-Caffrey, Educator & EPS' Literacy Specialist Jenny Eisenman, and Costley Middle School Principal Dr. Thelma Ramsey-Bryant. The event will take place on October 24 from 2-3 p.m. ET and those interested can register online here.
"We're excited to share strategies for scaling interventions for middle school students with dyslexia and other reading challenges," said Dr. Janine Walker-Caffrey, Chief Academic Officer of EPS Learning. "Our goal is to underscore the importance of universal access to structured literacy so all students receive the effective instruction they need to become successful readers."
EPS Learning continues to lead the way in advancing PreK-12 literacy. EPS Learning's SPIRE® is a research-proven, comprehensive, structured literacy and multisensory reading intervention program that has supported reading success for striving readers including students with dyslexia for over 30 years.
