About the SLANT® 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 6 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 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.
