Professional Development
|
We're Approved! SLANT® is now approved by the Indiana Department of Education as a dyslexia training program . 
The SLANT® System's professional development program is designed to prepare teachers to teach reading, spelling, and writing skills to individuals diagnosed with language based reading difficulties, or dyslexia. |
Training in The SLANT System® provides any teacher with a knowledge base of English language structure that can be applied to the teaching of reading at all grades and levels.
Using SLANT® alongside an elementary general education reading program, knowledgeable SLANT® teachers can provide more explicit instruction in decoding, word attack and spelling than is generally provided in many literature-based reading programs. SLANT ® is aligned with the Common Core K-5 Reading Foundational Skills. At the middle school level, the teacher’s knowledge about syllable division, morphology and spelling rules can again supplement instruction in typical reading and language arts classes, allowing more students to access the general curriculum. |
"I truly think my SLANT Training is the best training I have ever had in my entire career. My most severe students continue to amaze me with the strides they make. I know this wouldn't have been possible before my training."
