377: Dr. Brennan Chandler and All Things Dyslexia (Reading Series) Part 2

Rachel Kapp, M.Ed., BCET, and Stephanie Pitts, M.Ed., BCET welcome Dr. Brennan Chandler, Assistant Professor at Georgia State University, for the second half of their conversation. Dr. Chandler shares what works: effective instruction and support can lead to skilled, confident readers. He discusses his role of breaking down the research and talks about the benefit of targeted, direct, explicit instruction in phonemic awareness, phonics, spelling and reading fluency support. He discusses our job as interventionists is to “crack the code” coupled with a lot of feedback. He also shares practical routines and advice and emphasizes different instructional routines to meet a child’s needs. He even shares free, evidence-based researched interventions that work! He also talks about the importance of generalizing sounds to words to connected text.  Sound Partners –https://www.voyagersopris.com/products/reading/sound-partners  Maryanne Wolf–RAVO–https://www.maryannewolf.com/raveo-intervention Word Connections–Free online https://www.jessicatoste.com/wordconnections Rewords–Anita Archer https://www.voyagersopris.com/products/reading/rewards Connect with Dr. Chandler: BrennanChandler.com   Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/learnsmarterpodcast   How to connect with us: Join our e-mail list Rachel’s Kapp Educational Therapy Group website Steph’s My Ed Therapist website  @learnsmarterpodcast, @kappedtherapy, @myedtherapist
