JET: A Fast-Paced Reading Intervention for CALTs

​

​

Jet: A Fast-Paced Reading Intervention is one-year curriculum written by the staff of the Luke Waites Center for Dyslexia and Learning Disorders at Scottish Rite for Children. Jet builds on the success of the four previous dyslexia intervention programs developed by the staff of Scottish Rite for Children: Alphabetic Phonics, the Dyslexia Training Program, Scottish Rite for Children Literacy Program, and Take Flight: A Comprehensive Intervention for Students with Dyslexia. Jet is an eight-hour training for Take Flight therapists and will be offered as a five-day training for all individuals trained to the therapy level at a later date.

This in-person training is intended for use by a

Certified Academic Language Therapist trained in Take Flight.

Five Components of Effective Reading Instruction:

​

Jet contains the five components of effective reading instruction identified by research from the National Reading Panel. Jet addresses each component by:

​

  • Phonemic Awareness - following established procedures for explicitly teaching the relationships between speech sound production and spelling-sound patterns.

  • Phonics - providing a systematic approach for single word decoding.

  • Fluency - using research-proven directed practice in repeated practice in repeated reading of words, phrases, and passages to help individuals read newly encountered text more fluently.

  • Vocabulary - featuring multiple word learning strategies (definitional, structural, contextual) and explicit teaching techniques with application in text.

  • Reading Comprehension - teaching individuals to explicitly use and articulate multiple comprehension strategies in narrative and expository text (i.e., cooperative learning, story structure, question generation and answering, summarization and comprehension monitoring)
