Session Description Early identification and intervention are critical to supporting students at risk for reading difficulties, including dyslexia. This session highlights key lessons from Pennsylvania’s Dyslexia Screening Pilot Program and explores how those insights can inform early literacy practices across schools and districts. Participants will learn about effective screening tools, instructional responses, and system-level supports that ensure all students—especially those most at risk—receive timely, evidence-based interventions. Grounded in real-world implementation, this session offers practical guidance for educators, administrators, and policymakers. Learning Objectives By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
Describe the structure, goals, and outcomes of Pennsylvania’s Dyslexia Screening Pilot Program.
Identify effective tools and processes for early screening and intervention for students at risk for dyslexia.
Apply lessons learned to strengthen early literacy systems and ensure timely, evidence-based support for struggling readers.
