Temple Independent School
District Dyslexia Program
Overview
The Temple ISD Dyslexia Program is designed to provide assessment of
those students at risk for dyslexia, as well as appropriate reading and
spelling instruction for students who meet federal, state and district
criteria as dyslexic. Appropriate reading and spelling instruction is
characterized by the descriptors found in The Dyslexia Handbook,
revised 2007, a publication of the Texas Education Agency.
Assessment and instruction are provided by Certified Academic Language
Therapists
or Academic Language Therapists in training. The reading program
used is Take Flight, an Orton-Gillingham-based multi-sensory
approach developed by Scottish Rite Children’s Hospital in Dallas,
Texas. Take Flight meets all the descriptors for effective
instruction found in The Dyslexia Handbook.
