Beyond Decoding: Building Knowledge, Comprehension & Written Expression with Francine Swickheimer, Ed.D., C-SLDI

Hosted by IDA Dallas and The Reading League Arkansas

IDA Dallas and The Reading League Arkansas are joining together to present Francine Swickheimer, Ed.D., C-SLDI, for a practical session focused on moving students with dyslexia beyond accurate word reading toward skilled reading and writing.

Students with dyslexia need explicit, systematic instruction in foundational reading skills, but strong literacy development also depends on background knowledge, comprehension, and written expression.

This session will explore practical ways educators can intentionally build background knowledge during small-group instruction and use that knowledge to strengthen students’ reading comprehension and writing.

Free & open to the public

Dolly Parton understood something powerful: when we inspire people to read, we open the door to so much more.🌟

Her lifelong commitment to putting books into the hands of children helped generations of young readers discover new worlds, new ideas, and new possibilities.

Dolly's legacy will forever be rooted in something we believe in deeply—every child deserves the opportunity to become a reader. 📚❤️
