Reading By Design

• New Diana Independent School District implements the dyslexia intervention curriculum, Reading by Design: An Individualized Literacy Intervention. Reading by Design is a systematic, multisensory approach aligned with research-based practices for developing literacy. This intervention follows an intensive, explicit, and cumulative design for remediation of reading and writing skills at all grade levels. This comprehensive program addresses the following components: Phonological Awareness, Sound-symbol Association, Six Syllable Types, Written Spelling Patterns, Morphology, Syntax, Reading Fluency, and Comprehension.
