Reading for the Mind: Multisensory Solutions for Students Requiring Mild to Intensive Reading Interventions.

Have you found what you are using for explicit instruction doesn’t meet the needs of ALL your learners? This can be a challenge. Instructionally, we know utilizing systematic and explicit instruction methods to be effective and valuable tools. However, after more than a decade of using Multi-Tiered System of Supports, our focus has shifted to fine-tuning to the specific needs of our learners who have failed to achieve adequate progress. We continue to face a challenge of meeting the needs of the most intensive (special education) learners who require an alternative learning method. In this session, you will observe a teacher demonstrating the 6-step instructional sequence for a typical, multi-sensory Sonday System lesson. Student achievement data will be presented and an opportunity will be provided for discussion and questions.

  • Learning Objectives: Participants will: Understand how the Multi-Tiered System of Support identifies students who require alternative instructional methods.
  • Observe demonstration of multi-sensory evidence-based techniques used in the Sonday System.
  • Review data outcomes achieved as a result of this implementation.
