Texas Dyslexia Academy 1: Foundations
Module 4- Interpreting Scores



Texas Dyslexia Academy 1: Dyslexia Foundations is the first of six training opportunities developed to assist educators to better understand dyslexia and related disorders. In this course, participants learn foundational information about how students acquire reading skills, why some students struggle in reading, what dyslexia is, and warning signs that dyslexia may be causing a student’s reading difficulties. The objectives for this course are:

  • Explore the elements of reading
  • Define dyslexia, its characteristics, and related disorders
  • Explore the common risk factors for dyslexia
  • Understand associated academic difficulties

TAC §232.11 requires educators who teach students with dyslexia to have CPE training in new research and practices in educating students with dyslexia.*

*Successful completion of TDA 1 may satisfy this requirement, per local district policy.


Important Session Information:


Module 4 is the fourth of five modules developed to assist school districts and charter schools in the identification of students with dyslexia. This module is designed to provide the knowledge necessary to interpret both quantitiative (formal) and qualitative (informal) data used, in compliance with federal and state guidelines, to identify students with dyslexia. Specifically, the participant will understand the significance of quantitative data from normed assessment scores. The role that qualitative data plays when used with quantitative test scores in helping a Section 504 committee determine the identification of dyslexia, will also be reviewed. Participants should bring their copy of the Dyslexia Handbook 2014. The Dyslexia Handbook 2014 may be downloaded from: http://www.esc17.net/users/0212/docs/mh.dyslexiahandbook(2)2014.pdf

  • This workshop will qualify for 6 Alta Credits.
