Ep.7 | Let’s Talk Dyslexia Remediation with Janique Parrott-Gaffney

Join Winifred A. Winston with Janique Parrott-Gaffney as they discuss all things literacy and dyslexia. Janique is a former special educator who realized she wasn’t properly equipped to teach her students how to read. She did a google search and found a program that trained her on structured literacy and later opened her specialized tutoring firm to help struggling readers.

Here’s a breakdown of what to expect in this episode:

What is the difference between a homework tutor and an interventionist?
Understanding dyslexia’s connection to the 5 components of literacy.
How much training is involved to become an interventionist.
Why it’s so important to remediate sooner than later; do not “wait to fail”.
How many sessions are effective for remediation on a weekly basis.
And so much more!
