 This was copied directly from t
 he website\, \"The Science of Reading (SOR) has had a significant influenc
 e on the public’s knowledge about current reading practices and the chan
 ges required to institutionalize change in implementing the SOR in our sch
 ools. Much of the SOR has focused on the foundation skills such as phonemi
 c awareness\, phonics\, and other word reading practices. This is necessar
 y because the challenges of learning to read are largely remedied through 
 improving these foundation skills and using SOR to do so. However\, there 
 are other critical instructional practices that are necessary to enhance r
 eading outcomes for students with dyslexia including text based reading st
 rategies that support building background knowledge and comprehension\, vo
 cabulary enhancement\, and fluency.  This presentation will provide a kno
 wledge base from the research on several elements of improving reading out
 comes for students with dyslexia.
