Literacy Excellence Program

“Dyslexia is a specific learning disability that is neurological in origin. It is characterized by difficulties with accurate and/or fluent word recognition and by poor spelling and decoding abilities. These difficulties typically result from a deficit in the phonological component of language that is often unexpected in relation to other instruction. Secondary consequences may include problems in reading comprehension and reduced reading experience that can impede the growth of vocabulary and background knowledge." International Dyslexia Association (IDA)             

 

 

At Central, we do not diagnose dyslexia.  Some of our students have been tested and diagnosed at the Fundamental Learning Center in Wichita, Kansas.  At CCS, however, we DO screen struggling students for dyslexic tendencies (with parent approval, of course) and offer our services to students who fit a dyslexic profile.

 

Central Christian’s Literacy Excellence Program uses two explicit, structured, instructional curriculums, Alphabetic Phonics and Multisensory Reading and Spelling, for students with dyslexia or dyslexic tendencies who are enrolled in the program. Mrs. Stacy Nather directs the program. She and another teacher have been trained as Literacy Intervention Specialists and lead students through the program.

 

In order to cover the added costs of this specialized instruction, the school board has determined the following fees. These fees cover the salaries of the instructors along with additional materials needed.
