IDA Oregon Spring Symposium

Forge Education was proud to sponsor the International Dyslexia Association’s Oregon Annual Spring Symposium. Keynote speaker, Dr. Jessica Toste, presented her FREE Multisyllablic Word Reading Program, Word Connections.

“Word Connections is a supplemental reading intervention program. It includes 40 lessons (40 min each), divided into four units of instruction. Word Connections was developed for students in third grade and above who continue to experience challenges with word reading even though they have developed foundational decoding skills. The lessons focus on promoting automaticity with reading “big words.” This approach to multisyllabic word reading integrates multiple opportunities for students to manipulate and read words, rather than focusing on rule-based instruction.”
