 Dyslexia Services in Anna ISD

Not all students learn to read, write, and spell in the same way. Despite high-quality, evidence-based classroom instruction, some students continue to struggle with foundational literacy skills. For some, this difficulty may be due to dyslexia, a specific learning disability that affects reading and related language-based processing skills.

In alignment with the Texas Dyslexia Handbook (2024 Update), Anna ISD is committed to early identification and appropriate intervention for students with dyslexia. We provide dyslexia services on all campuses to students who meet eligibility criteria through a Full Individual and Initial Evaluation (FIIE) as part of the special education process.

Students identified with dyslexia receive instruction from trained educators using evidence-based programs that include the critical components outlined in the Dyslexia Handbook:

• Phonological awareness
• Sound-symbol association
• Syllabication
• Orthography
• Morphology
• Syntax
• Reading comprehension
• Reading fluency

Instruction is delivered in a systematic, explicit, and multisensory manner, tailored to meet each student’s unique needs. In addition, students with dyslexia are provided with appropriate instructional accommodations to support their success across all academic areas.

Anna ISD follows all procedures and requirements set forth in the Texas Dyslexia Handbook, including the expectation that dyslexia instruction is considered specially designed instruction when delivered through special education services. Our goal is to ensure that every student with dyslexia is equipped with the tools and support they need to become confident, capable readers and lifelong learners.
