Dyslexia Guide

In February 2020, the Wisconsin legislature passed Wisconsin Act 86 (Act 86). This bi-partisan legislation, with support from Governor Tony Evers, resulted in the creation of this informational guidebook on dyslexia and related conditions. Act 86 stipulated:

  • that the Department of Public Instruction (DPI), under the leadership of State Superintendent Carolyn Stanford Taylor, work with co-chairs and an advisory committee composed of equal membership from the Wisconsin Branch of the International Dyslexia Association (IDA WI) and the Wisconsin State Reading Association (WSRA);

  • that the guidebook work from a specific definition of dyslexia;

  • that the guidebook includes information about screening processes and tools, instruction and intervention, and resources;

  • a timeline for the creation and on-going revision of the guidebook; and

  • that DPI host the guidebook on their website and that all Wisconsin school districts include a link to the guidebook on their respective websites.

The guidebook can be found here.

Act 20 Implementation

Act 20 states that all Wisconsin schools are required to provide science-based early literacy instruction in both universal and intervention settings. Science-based early literacy instruction is defined as the following.

Instruction that is systematic and explicit and consists of all the following:

  • Phonological awareness

  • Phonemic awareness

  • Phonics

  • Building background knowledge

  • Oral language development

  • Vocabulary building

  • Instruction in writing

  • Instruction in comprehension

  • Reading fluency

Phonics is defined as the study of the relationships between sounds and words; this includes alphabetic principle, decoding, orthographic knowledge, encoding, and fluency.

G-E-T educators that teach Kindergarten - 2nd Grade will all be trained in LETRS as part of the requirements of this law.
