What is Take Flight?
Take Flight: A Comprehensive Intervention for Students with Dyslexia is a curriculum written by the staff of the Luke Waites Center for Dyslexia and Learning Disorders at Scottish Rite for Children. Take Flight builds on the success of the three previous dyslexia intervention programs developed by institutions: Alphabetic Phonics, the Dyslexia Training Program and TSRH Literacy Program.
The curriculum was designed for use by dyslexia therapists with children 7 years and older who have developmental dyslexia. The purpose was to enable students with dyslexia to achieve and maintain better word recognition, reading fluency, reading comprehension and aid in the transition from a therapy setting to ‘real world’ learning.
GC offers dyslexia intervention services to enrolled GC students for an additional fee. Students are pulled from their regular educational classes several times each week to meet in small groups with a trained Take Flight instructor.
