Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Research has shown that it takes four times as long to intervene and remediate a reading disability in fourth grade than in kindergarten. As a K-3 special education teacher, I work with students whose primary disability is in reading. I am the last line of defense before they reach that "four times as long" category.

I have been trained in other reading programs, even ones that use the Orton-Gillingham approach, but year after year, I still have students who make minimal progress and unfortunately never catch up.

The EBLI Teacher Training and Student Lessons (ETSL) for K-12 Intervention would equip me to streamline instruction with comprehensive, revolutionary, integrated, research-aligned training to accelerate the five essential components of reading, handwriting, spelling, and writing.

EBLI's approach starts with a speech first and linguistic phonics instruction for decoding. It provides students with a highly effective process and system of logic that enables them to apply concepts, skills, and information taught to automatically and accurately read, write, and spell.

I spend my spare time reading and researching best practices in reading to better help my students. After intense research and connecting with others in the field of literacy, I am confident this program is going to change the lives of many students I work with each year.
