    4.10 The Ripple Effects of Dyslexia with Tiffany Solomon Feb 03, 2025
    Show notes

    In this episode, we’re joined by Tiffany Solomon to discuss the ripple effects of dyslexia, and how it impacts not just the classroom but also shapes lives, families, and the workplace.

    Tiffany Solomon is the Family and Student Engagement Coordinator for Decoding Dyslexia Rhode Island, an Associate member of the Orton-Gillingham Academy (OGA), and was honored to serve as a Literacy Ambassador through the Rhode Island Department of Education (RIDE) in 2019-2020. She spent over a decade as a 2nd grade and kindergarten teacher at Highlander Charter School in Providence, Rhode Island. During this time, she was also a primary teaching member of Highlander’s weekly itinerant collaborative meetings, where she worked with the special education support team to implement specialized, evidenced-based strategies within her classroom to ensure success for students who learn differently.

    4.9 What Matters When Working with Older Dyslexic Students Jan 20, 2025
    Show notes

    Working with older students with dyslexia presents unique challenges due to their complex needs and gaps in foundational literacy skills. These students are often overlooked in broader conversations about the Science of Reading (SOR) and Social-emotional Learning (SEL), with most resources tailored to younger learners.

    In this episode, we’re providing diagnostic and prescriptive advice for supporting older dyslexic students in educational and personal growth contexts.

    4.8 The Art and Science of Prescriptive and Diagnostic Teaching Jan 06, 2025
    Show notes

    The diagnostic-prescriptive approach to teaching clinically focuses directly on the student. This includes knowledge about the strengths and needs of a student, and this information is gathered through assessments or diagnostic measures that let a teacher diagnose their student’s academic abilities. In turn, the teacher uses this information to prescribe an appropriate course of action, which includes prescribing or ordering sequential learning tasks that enable a student to reach a given goal. From their observations, teachers then implement prescriptions that remediate difficulties.

    In this episode, we discuss a powerful approach to teaching that is driven by the knowledge of the students and anchored in the Ortonian and Structured Literacy principles. We are talking about The Art and Science of Prescriptive and Diagnostic Teaching.

    4.7 The Power of Observation: What, When, and How Dec 23, 2024
    Show notes

    Observation is a powerful move in our roles as educators. It can help us make decisions in the moment and the future. In a time when assessments seem to take up much of our time, we must remember the power and impact student observation has on our teaching. It is truly an art and a science. But knowing what to observe and when can sometimes feel tricky.

    In this episode, we discuss student observation and how it can be efficiently used to improve teaching practices in the present and future.

    4.2 Are students with dyslexia getting lost in the SOR movement? Oct 14, 2024
    Show notes

    The recent movement to look deeply into the Science of Reading (SOR) has shifted the training we seek for teachers, the training and programs endorsed at the state level, and the curriculum school districts purchase. So, why are our students still not reading and writing proficiently?

    Is it the instruction, curriculum, or teacher training and knowledge that is seriously impacting learning outcomes? Or, is it a combination of all three factors?

    In this episode, we discuss the SOR movement and why some students, particularly those with dyslexia, seem to be getting lost in the debate.
