 “Structured Literacy &amp\; Dyslexia” is
  the fourth video in the GaDOE video series. This video explains what is m
 eant by a structured literacy approach to reading instruction and what thi
 s means for students with dyslexia. First\, the features of explicit\, sys
 tematic\, and cumulative instruction are described\, followed by an explan
 ation of how these features can be applied within the delivery of effectiv
 e reading instruction. Next\, the content elements of a structured literac
 y approach are reviewed\, which include decoding\, spelling\, writing\, an
 d comprehension. Finally\, the features of instruction specifically for st
 udents with dyslexia are delineated.
