Dyslexia Services
The Klein ISD dyslexia program is designed to provide short-term reading intervention for children identified as having characteristics of dyslexia. Intervention services are offered to qualifying students in all grades. The components of instruction include explicit, systematic, and sequential multi-sensory instruction. Klein teachers are trained in dyslexia intervention strategies, which target the five areas of reading: phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. The goal of the dyslexia intervention program is for students to gain accurate and fluent reading.
Student Eligibility
Klein ISD takes a proactive approach in identifying reading disabilities, such as dyslexia, through early identification and intervention. The Response to Intervention (RtI) framework is utilized to support struggling readers; however, a student is not required to complete the RtI process prior to being considered for a dyslexia evaluation. At any point during the school year, students who exhibit characteristics of dyslexia, dysgraphia or related services may be referred for a Full Initial and Individual Evaluation by the campus referral team. Additionally, parents may request a referral for a dyslexia evaluation at any time.
- Parental consent forms and parent questionnaires are required to initiate the evaluation.
- Parents of elementary students should contact the campus Reading Specialist.
- Parents of intermediate and high school students should contact their child's counselor.
- Evaluation procedures are in accordance with TEA's Dyslexia Handbook / Manual Sobre Dislexia.
