Doing Your Homework:
Research-Based Reading Instruction

by Suzanne Whitney, Research Editor, Wrightslaw

**********

Note: Congress has reauthorized the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), the statute formerly known as No Child Left Behind. The new statute, Every Student Succeeds Act, was signed into law by President Obama on December 10, 2015.

Scientifcally-Based Research" has been replaced by "evidenced-based interventions" in ESSA.

**********

A lot of attention has been focused on research-based reading instruction recently.

Are there experts in this field?

Is there a way to find tutors for children with reading problems? Independent evaluators?

Is there an organization that can answer questions that educators, school board members, and parents have about effective reading instruction?

Yes to all.

The International Dyslexia Association (IDA) maintains a list of evaluators, tutors, and educational diagnosticians. You can request a copy of the list for your area by calling the International Dyslexia Association at 410-296-0232.

Individuals or organizations who wish to be added to International Dyslexia Association database of providers may submit an application to the International Dyslexia Association. How to apply.
