IDA Releases New Fact Sheet on the Knowledge and Practice Standards

The IDA (International Dyslexia Association) Knowledge and Practice Standards for Teachers of Reading (Knowledge and Practice Standards) provide a comprehensive research based framework that articulates what all reading teachers and specialists should know and be able to demonstrate to teach reading successfully to all students. The focus of the Knowledge and Practice Standards is the structure of language and its component systems, their connections to design and delivery of instruction, and the complex nature of skilled reading. Such knowledge is critical in teaching those with dyslexia and other struggling readers, but all students can benefit from the Structured Literacy approach.  http://www.interdys.org/ewebeditpro5/upload/KnowledgeAndPracticeStandards1214b.pdf
