Principles of Instruction for a Dyslexic Student



Explicit Direct Instruction:
Explicit instruction requires use of straightforward, consistent, and precise language for direct
teaching of all skills and strategies with continuous student-teacher interaction and use of as much scaffolding as needed.   An outline of explicit instruction is as follows:

  • Teacher Connects to Prior Knowledge: Teacher connects to what was recently taught to what the teacher will teach.
  • Auditory Introduction:  The teacher introduces the lesson and the student is only required to listen
  • Direct Instruction with Visual:  The teacher gives the student a visual on what they will learn and explain the lesson utilizing the visual
  • Multi Sensory Reinforcement: The student writes or utilizes their other senses in order to understand the lesson
  • Oral Reading:  The student will read vocabulary that is related to the text
  • Spelling: The student will learn additional vocabulary related to the lesson by spelling out the words
  • Reading Connected to text: The student will read a passage, article, or short story related to the lesson
  • As the student work, the teacher provides corrective feedback as needed.
