One learning disorder that students may have problems with is dyslexia. Dyslexia is a learning disorder that involves difficulty due to problems identifying speech sounds and learning how they relate to letters and words.

Prepare a lesson for the struggling reader you have been working with or a student with characteristics of dyslexia using evidence-based practices found in the learning resources. The lesson should include at least 2 evidence-based instructional strategies based on a structured literacy approach. Implement the lesson within your field experience classroom early in the week. After reviewing this information and teaching your lesson, write a 2–3-page paper that addresses the following:

Explain the nature and symptoms of dyslexia. How can dyslexia impact instruction in reading and writing for students?
Identify 2-3 resources for students who show characteristics of dyslexia and explain why these resources are relevant. How can you ensure your resources are scientifically accurate and are valid sources of research-based information.
Discuss the 2 evidence-based instructional strategies based on the structure literacy approach that you implemented in your lesson. What went well and what would you change?
Provide examples of how the elements and principles of a structured literacy approach impact student learning.
Explain the positive outcomes of intervention and what occurs when there is a lack of intervention.
