A high school dyslexia classroom provides targeted support for students with dyslexia, focusing on developing essential literacy skills through explicit, systematic, and multisensory instruction. These classrooms often utilize specialized programs like Orton-Gillingham based approaches to address phonological awareness, decoding, fluency, and spelling. Beyond direct instruction, they also equip students with compensatory strategies and accommodations for navigating the high school curriculum, such as access to audiobooks, assistive technology, extended time, and alternative assessment formats. The goal is to empower students with dyslexia to build confidence, advocate for their learning needs, and achieve academic success while fostering a supportive and understanding environment.
