BUILD: A K-1 Early Reading Intervention

​

To meet the needs of the K-1 students who have been identified as at risk for dyslexia, the staff of the Luke Waites Center of Dyslexia and Learning Disorders at Scottish Rite for Children have developed a 100 lesson reading intervention called BUILD: A K-1 Early Reading Intervention. BUILD is a small group intervention that addresses the five specific components of reading intervention. Each component is taught developmentally, using a direct, systematic, cumulative, multisensory method of introduction and practice to meet the specific needs of kindergarten and first-grade students struggling in reading. 

​

The Five Components Are:

​

  • Alphabet: the identification of letters, sequencing skills and alphabetizing

  • Letter/Sound Knowledge: the direct instruction of individual letters and sounds, leading to the practice of reading words and sentences.

  • Phonological Awareness: the explicit introduction of the relationships between speech-sound production, from rhyme to spelling.

  • Vocabulary: the direct teaching of strategies, using context clues to infer meaning of unfamiliar words.

  • Comprehension: the explicit teaching of specific learning strategies used to identify the basic components of a story.
