The International Dyslexia Association (IDA) infographic is a valuable tool for understanding Structured Literacy, but applying it effectively in real classrooms can be challenging. With so many components to consider, educators may find themselves unsure about certain aspects or facing misconceptions that make implementation harder than it needs to be. This third edWebinar of the Structured Literacy for Every Learner Summit is designed to provide clarity and practical guidance, helping educators use the infographic to strengthen their Structured Literacy practice.

Panelists walk through key elements of the infographic, address common points of confusion, and discuss how it connects to evidence-based reading instruction. The conversation focuses on how to apply these principles in diverse classrooms while keeping instruction clear, effective, and equitable. Viewers will gain:

• A deeper understanding of the IDA infographic and its role in Structured Literacy
• Insights into common challenges and how to navigate them
• Practical guidance for ensuring instruction stays aligned with reading science

View a thoughtful discussion with literacy leaders on making Structured Literacy implementation more effective and accessible for all K-12 educators.
