Welcome to Season 5 of Together in Literacy! We’re thrilled to be back and thank you for joining us. 

In this episode we’re kicking off our new season by setting the scene for the overarching topic that will inform our conversations: What do students with dyslexia really need?

The answer may sound familiar: more than just phonics! Our students need a comprehensive approach that sees the whole learner. We’ll talk about this in-depth this season, with topics like going beyond explicit phonics, decoding, executive function, layered and responsive instruction, metacognition, and self-advocacy strategies.
