BUILD: A K-1 Early Reading Intervention


To meet the needs of the K-1 students who have been identified as at risk for dyslexia, the staff of the Luke Waites Center for Dyslexia and Learning Disorders at Scottish Rite for Children has developed a 100-lesson reading intervention called Build: A K-1 Early Reading Intervention. Build is a small group intervention that addresses five specific components of reading intervention. The five components include the alphabet, letter/sound knowledge, phonological awareness, vocabulary, and comprehension.
