Rebuilding Secondary Dyslexia Support with Consistent Instruction

Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD strengthened adolescent dyslexia outcomes by replacing inconsistent secondary intervention with a unified, structured literacy approach designed for older learners.

• Districtwide Consistency: A shared intervention model replaced fragmented campus-by-campus practices across all secondary schools.
• Targeted Support: Skill-based grouping and structured literacy routines helped deliver more precise instruction for older students.
• Measurable Growth: Students showed strong midyear gains in decoding, with more learners meeting grade-level expectations.
