About the SLANT System® Introductory CourseCertification in the SLANT System® for Structured Literacy begins with a 25-hour introductory course that presents an overview of the SLANT System®, delivered over multiple days covering: • The definition of dyslexia • Current research in effective reading approaches, • The brain and dyslexia • Diagnostic assessment procedures • The scope and sequence of the SLANT System® • The content of a typical lesson • Characteristics of students for whom SLANT® is appropriate • Systematic introduction to language structure Participants develop an overall understanding and assessment of dyslexia, an understanding of the SLANT System®, learn how to prepare a typical lesson, and gain insight into language structure. Participants will receive necessary materials, included with their training, to support their instruction with their students for immediate implementation. The introductory course is a prerequisite for full certification in the SLANT System®. The SLANT System® provides a year long, in-depth training supervised one-to-one practicum process which can lead to certification in the use of the system. SLANT® certified teachers have demonstrated their ability to use the system with fidelity and have completed 45 hours of coursework in structured literacy instruction.
