Dyslexia

The purpose of Conroe ISD’s Dyslexia Department is to assess students suspected of having dyslexia and provide dyslexia intervention to those students with dyslexia.  The Conroe ISD Dyslexia Program provides explicit, direct instruction organized in a systematic, sequential, and cumulative way to meet the specific learning needs of students with dyslexia.

This intervention program fulfills the requirements of the Texas Dyslexia Law to utilize individualized, intensive, and multisensory methods to deliver the components of instruction, which include phonemic awareness, graphophonemic knowledge, language structure, linguistics, and strategy usage. Reading Intervention Teachers are provided with the training and support needed to deliver an appropriate instructional program to students eligible for these services.  Staff development opportunities are made available to classroom teachers to meet the classroom needs of students with dyslexia.  Parent information opportunities are also offered.
