    Virtual Dyslexia Therapy- Research Based Reading Intervention

    I have tried my best to educate myself on different interventions that would help my students throughout my teaching journey. When it came to students with dyslexia, my research was taking me down several different avenues. There is a lot of information available on dyslexia interventions that are centered around personal successes. While these resources were helpful, I needed to take my interventions a step further for my students that were really struggling with reading. This is when I found Take Flight: A Comprehensive Intervention for Students with Dyslexia.

    What is Take Flight?
    Take Flight (TF) is a multisensory, structured approach to teaching written by the education staff of the Luke Waites Center for Dyslexia and Learning Disorders at Scottish Rite for Children (SRC) hospital. Take Flight builds on the success of previous dyslexia intervention programs developed at SRC: Alphabet Phonics, Dyslexia Training Program and TSRH Literacy Program. It is a two year, Orton-Gillingham based curriculum designed for students 7 years of age and older who have been identified as having dyslexia.

    The reason Take Flight initially caught my attention is because the whole program is developed based on research! Research and data! These are two words I absolutely love as an educator
    Who Can Administer Take Flight?
    Take Flight trained therapists are called Certified Academic Language Therapists (CALTs). CALTs have extensive training needed to serve students with dyslexia.

    In order to become a CALT a person must:

    Hold a bachelor’s degree
    Go through a two year training program
    Complete a minimum of 700 clinical teaching hours
    Submit video demonstrations, book reports and chapter reviews

    Pass an exam that results in certification by the Academic Language Therapy Association

    About Me

    I’m Andreah and I have always had a passion for working with children. I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a degree in Communication Science and Disorders- Speech Language Pathology. My life path led me to become a teacher and ultimately an Academic Language Therapist. As a teacher, I primarily worked with children who had been identified as having a learning disability in academic areas or who struggled with attention.

    Dyslexia Therapy
    I’m extremely thankful to be an Academic Language Therapist. This is a specific two year program of extensive training and hundreds of clinical teaching hours (700 hours minimum to be exact!) that allows me to provide dyslexia therapy. The intervention I am trained in is called Take Flight and I am currently in my advanced year of training. I have been blown away at the progress children make from our dyslexia therapy sessions! It has been such a wonderful and gratifying experience to be a part of their journey!

    Arabic language lessons for native and non-native speakers, and teaching the Holy Quran with Tajweed.
    Arabic💐 Hello and welcome. I am Wafaa. I love the teaching profession, especially for children. It makes me live with them inside the classroom as if I were in a garden, playing, learning and competing away from the events of the world full of horrors. 🍭🍬 We will learn the basics of the Arabic language from the letters so that we can start reading at a high level. We also speak in classical Arabic to develop the skill of speaking Arabic using modern teaching strategies and methods. 💐 From the first class, the student can speak Arabic. I rely in my lessons on the Nooraniyah rule if the guardian wants to teach his son to read the Holy Quran, and also a special curriculum for the non-Arabic speaking student. As for if the guardian wants to teach reading, writing and grammar in Arabic, thank God we follow a group of books, most notably Arabic in your hands, basic education and Arabic language lessons, and there are other curricula from which I choose what suits the student's needs. 💐 In each class, we must practice the four language skills of listening, reading, writing and speaking, in an atmosphere of interaction between me and the student. 💐I can help you with your requirements that you seek in the Arabic language and the Holy Quran. My life is full of courses, meetings and readings in this field so that I am qualified to help you and you also to progress. I can give you advice away from the routine of work so that you can achieve yourself, succeed and be creative in your life through my experience and dealing with children and adolescents. 💐This field is not only for learning a language, but it gives us the abilities and will succeed in life, the language of the Qur’an that God honored makes us read and memorize the Qur’an to understand God’s messages to us. We seek to learn to refine behavior and develop skills so that we can be a nation that reads as our noble Messenger loves. I teach the Holy Quran by dictation first for those who cannot read, then by spelling after giving a set of lessons to the student so that he can spell directly from the Holy Quran.
