Dyslexia is a disorder of constitutional origin manifested by a difficulty in learning to read, write, or spell; despite conventional instruction, adequate intelligence, and sociocultural opportunity.
(Texas Education Code)
People with dyslexia are unique; each having individual strengths and weaknesses. Many dyslexics are creative and have talent in areas such as art, mathematics, science, electronics, mechanics, drama, music, or verbal communication. Dyslexics often show special talent in areas that require visual, spatial, and motor integration.
WHAT PROGRAM IS USED IN LEWISVILLE ISD?
The program used in Lewisville Independent School District for children who have been diagnosed with Dyslexia is the Multisensory Teaching Approach or MTA. The MTA program is a sequential and cumulative curriculum that places primary emphasis on the 85% of the English Language that is phonetically reliable for reading and spelling. There are four major areas of study: alphabet and dictionary skills, reading, spelling, and cursive handwriting.

REMEMBER PARENTS ----
Reading each night with your child is one of the best ways to encourage the love of reading.
TIP:
For nightly reading, parent reads one page and the child reads the next, continue to alternate. No matter how old the kids become, they will always still love to have stories read to them!
