Knowledge
and Practice Standards for Teachers of Reading
 The International Dyslexia Association created
the Knowledge and Practice Standards for Teachers
of Reading in 2010. This document serves as our
guide in accrediting programs that prepare teachers of reading
and/or programs that specialize in preparing teachers to work with
students who have reading difficulties and disabilities. One
of IDA’s long term goals is to inform the public regarding the
knowledge base required for skilled reading instruction.
Another is to define the specific teaching capabilities that
should characterize any person responsible for teaching students
with dyslexia and related reading difficulties, and to identify
programs that meet the standards. We invite you to review the
document and we hope that you will partner with us in promoting high
standards for comprehensive and rigorous training of teachers.
