An evaluation by educators and professionals will determine the most appropriate plan. Deciding between an accommodation and a modification is crucial for future educational decisions.

Accommodations are changes that help a student(s) show what they have learned without lowering expectations or altering what is being tested.

For example, if knowledge in subjects like history or biology is being assessed, providing audio versions of the text can be an accommodation. These adjustments don't change the content, give unfair advantages, or alter the skills being measured. Instead, they help students with dyslexia demonstrate their learning without their disabilities getting in the way.

Modifications alter the instructional content and the evaluated knowledge, while accommodations do not.

The IEP team for a student is responsible for formally deciding on accommodations or modifications if needed.

Each accommodation/modification needs to be matched to the individual student’s educational needs.

You can ask if assistive technology is available and if it's appropriate for your child.

Access to test questions and answer choices read aloud.

Front of the room seating and breaks.

Being allowed to take photos of the classroom board and/or homework requirements

Audiobooks or a speech-text reader.

Providing Peer Note-taking or having the teacher provide photocopies of the notes from the lessons.

Research shows that most students learn to read more effectively with this structured approach. It's important for students with reading difficulties, such as dyslexia, to receive this type of instruction.

This relationship between phonemes and graphemes forms the basic structure of written language, often called the phonics code, the alphabetic code, or the written symbol system.

Compared to languages like Spanish or Italian, English has more complex and variable relationships between letters and sounds.

These connections can be taught and understood through systematic, clear, and step-by-step instruction, which usually takes several years.

They often have consistent spelling, even when their pronunciation changes in different words (like in define/definition, nation/national, restore/restoration). Understanding morphemes can help students decipher and retain the meanings of unfamiliar words. Additionally, knowing about word structure aids in remembering specific spellings, such as at-tract-ive and ex-press-ion.

Reading comprehension relies on both recognizing words and understanding language. During structured literacy instruction, students should be guided as they engage with various types of texts, including stories, informational texts, poetry, and drama, even if the texts are read aloud to those who aren't yet able to read independently. Reading engaging texts that encourage deep thinking is an essential aspect of Structured Literacy.
