Take Flight Cross/Retraining

Learning Solutions is offering Academic Language and Dyslexia Practitioner Training to the virtual classroom.

5-Day Cross Training

To meet the needs of students in grades 2 and up who have been identified at risk for dyslexia, the staff of the Luke Waites Center for Dyslexia and Learning Disorders at Scottish Rite for Children has developed a 240-lesson reading intervention called Take Flight: A Comprehensive Intervention for Students with Dyslexia. Take Flight is a one-to-one or small group intervention that addresses five specific components of reading intervention. Each component is taught developmentally using a direct, systematic, cumulative, multisensory method of introduction and practice to meet the specific needs of students struggling in reading. Instruction is intended to be delivered 5 days a week for 45 minutes or 4 days a week for an hour.

Days 1-3 will be scheduled together, while days 4 and 5 will be scheduled at a later date to fit your schedule.

Cost: $1000 instructor fee + Scottish Rite Materials (Kit 1 $802.23 & Kit 2 $240.35)
