To meet the needs of the K-1 students identified as at-risk for dyslexia or identified with dyslexia, the Scottish Rite for Children developed a 100-lesson, small group early reading intervention that addresses all five components of effective reading intervention: alphabet, letter/sound knowledge, phonological awareness, vocabulary, and comprehension. Each component is taught developmentally using a direct, systematic, cumulative, multimodal method of introduction and practice to meet the specific needs of K-1 students struggling with reading.

The curriculum is designed to be taught by interventionists, special education teachers, dyslexia therapists, CALTs/trainees, etc. Training is required.
