Dyslexia and Science of Reading

August/September 2025

If you are curently providing dyslexia instruction within Region 6, sign up and attend one of the four sessions below to receive training and materials that you can use to supplement your current dyslexia instruction for morphology. Materials were purchased for PDIs to use, but are property of the district or charter.

Starting in September, I will begin offering office hours once a month. There is no need to register for the calls, just join us when you can. This will be an opportunity to ask questions, discuss concerns, or just listen to what others are asking.

Texas Dyslexia Academies 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are now available on TEALearn. Registration is free and each course is self paced.

Region 6 will continue to offer the Texas Dyslexia Academy sessions in a live Zoom format. Sessions are free for educators within Region 6. For educators outside of Region 6, the fee is $50 for each half day session and $100 for each full day session.

Badges are now available in your TEALearn account for all TDAs and for the Guidance for the Comprehensive Evaluation of a Specific Learninng Disability course. You can choose to receive a badge for each TDA as you complete it and then after you complete all 6, you can get a "TDA complete" badge. Once you have completed all 6 TDAs and the Comprehensive Evaluation course, you should have an option to get an MDT badge.

For those of you who completed the TDAs with me during the 2024-2025 school year, you are eligible for the badges as well. You will need to email me and tell me which TDA courses you completed with me and when. I will then send you a link for the courses you compleeted. You will upload your certificate for the course and then take a post test. Once you pass the post test with an 80 or higher, you will be able to download your badge for the course. The certificates will then be hand checked by TEA and once verified, you will be able to downlooad your badges.

Badges are not required. They are optional.

The 2024 update of The Dyslexia Handbook is available online. This update became effective on June 30, 2024. The FAQ document is at the end of the handbook.

EdWeb.net offers many high quality webinars on a variety of topics in education. There are webinars for all grade levels and content areas as well as general interest sessions such as engagement and classroom management. If a course is offered at a time you are unable to attend, register anyway and you will get access to the recording after the event. A PD certificate is available for each completed session. Try them out! I have attended many session and they are usually highly informative.

TEA recently made changes to the Dyslexia Program Evaluation Rubric. Please click the link below for the new rubric.
