  • Do you need research-based center activities to help students with and at risk for dyslexia to practice the reading and writing skills you have explicitly taught?

Researchers and teachers at the Florida Center for Reading Research created research-based student center activities to support students in developing knowledge/skills in the areas of alphabet knowledge, oral language, phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, spelling, and writing. The student center activities are ready to print/use with students in pre-kindergarten through fifth-grade classrooms.

  • Do you not have access to a reading program or curriculum to provide systematic and explicit phonics and word reading instruction during whole class or small group instruction?

The University of Florida Literacy Institute created a toolbox that provides free access to lesson plans and lesson materials to help students develop early literacy skills.
