An IDA open membership meeting will follow the RISE conference.

The 17^th Annual RISE conference presented by the Tennessee Branch of the International Dyslexia Association will be held April 6, 2019 at Currey Ingram Academy in Brentwood, Tennessee.  The morning will include a keynote presentation from Barbara A. Wilson, M. Ed, the cofounder and president of Wilson Language Training followed by a breakout session of the attendees choosing.
The afternoon program will depart from our traditional format.  Conference attendees will experience interactive, hands-on demonstrations of the National Reading Panel’s 5 Components of Reading—Phonemic Awareness, Phonics (including decoding and encoding), Fluency, Vocabulary, Comprehension--presented by experts using Structured Literacy Instruction. This intensive workshop will build an initial understanding of direct explicit instruction for the benefit of all readers, especially those who struggle. Click here for program details
