READ Evaluation & Dyslexia Center

✈️ Teacher Training Opportunity: Bridges: A Dyslexia Intervention Connecting Teacher, Avatar, and Student presented in partnership with The Written Word and READ Evaluation & Dyslexia Center

❓ What if structured literacy instruction could combine the expertise of a trained teacher with the power of digital support?

📚 Bridges: A Dyslexia Intervention Connecting Teacher, Avatar, and Student is a research-based program developed by the Luke Waites Center for Dyslexia and Learning Disorders at Scottish Rite for Children. This two-year curriculum helps teachers deliver structured literacy intervention while a digital avatar supports the most complex instruction.

❓ Why Bridges?
• Helps address the shortage of trained dyslexia therapists
• Follows the same scope and sequence as the well-known Take Flight intervention
• Combines teacher-led instruction with a digital avatar teacher
• Reduces teacher preparation time while maintaining research-based instruction

📅 Training: 10 days of professional development designed to prepare certified teachers to implement this structured dyslexia intervention program.

✅ 5 DAYS IN-PERSON TRAINING: May 18 – 22, 2026, Location: Nettleton Support Services (@ The HUB), 3410 One Place, Jonesboro, AR

✅ 5 DAYS VIRTUAL WORKSHOPS: September 11, 2026 – November 6, 2026 – February 26, 2027 – April 23, 2027 – May 21, 2027

📣 Training Update 📣

Based on participant feedback and current needs, there has been a change to the upcoming assessment training. Rather than focusing only on the WRMT and TWS, the training will now also include the KTEA-III. After careful consideration, this shift allows me to offer a more flexible, accessible, and comprehensive option that better supports practitioners in their work.

Updated Training Format for March 17, 2026:
Morning Session: KTEA-III Dyslexia Index — a strong, efficient screener
Afternoon Session: Administration and interpretation of the remaining KTEA-III subtests

Participants may choose to attend only the morning session for the Dyslexia Index portion, or the full day for the complete battery. Please note: attendance at the morning session is required in order to participate in the afternoon session.

If you have any questions or would like to discuss which option is the best fit for you, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m happy to help!
