Ashley Russell, one of the eight select podium presenters to be featured at this year’s Undergraduate Research and Arts Celebration (URAC) on Wednesday, April 21, will discuss her senior project, ““How Can Teachers Individualize Intensive Reading Interventions to Ensure Successful Outcomes?”
Russell, a senior education major from Belle Vernon, Pa., worked with an 8-year-old dyslexic student, developing individualized reading intervention strategies to suit the student.
Using the Wilson Reading System, a literacy program for students with language-based learning disabilities such as dyslexia, Russell assessed her student’s strengths and areas of growth to determine the best course of instruction. Russell met with her student twice we week to practice decoding, spelling, reading and writing.
