Dyslexia is now being addressed by Rhode Island Government and school officials. Special training is now being given to teachers in the public school system on how to accommodate the curriculum to students with dyslexia, which is more commonplace than most people know. The training law is following in the footsteps of several other states.

The government in Rhode Island has passed a law requiring literacy teachers to be trained on how to teach students with Dyslexia.

This law has been endorsed by several state representatives, and provides training to teachers within the public school curriculum to develop new strategies on training students who have dyslexia. The students will have special training now, and at a young age, this will hopefully give them all of the same opportunities as their peers.

Key takeaways

  1. Rhode Island requires teachers to be prepared to educate Dyslexic children.
  2. The bill requiring this is recent.
  3. The state offers personal training to educational professionals.

Is your child struggling in school?

Get your free personalized learning roadmap

You describe what you see at home. We turn it into a plan you start this week.

  • Answer 5 short questionnaires about what you already notice, 30–45 minutes at your own kitchen table
  • Your child sits no test and gets no score: nothing to schedule, nothing for them to dread
  • You do the answering, the AI does the writing, and a person reviews it before it reaches you
  • Access all 40+ courses instantly: reading, math, focus, processing and more, with new ones added regularly

Why we use AI, plainly: it writes from a knowledge base our team maintains and audits. We work through it line by line and pull anything the evidence stops supporting. The roadmap you get on Tuesday reflects what we corrected on Monday, and a human still reads it before you do.

Your school district must evaluate your child free of charge if you ask in writing, whatever your income and whatever the outcome (US, 34 CFR 300.111 and 300.301(b)). That route takes time and answers a different question than you do. This one starts today, from what you already know.

Your answers stay yours. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not hand identifiable assessment data to outside AI companies to train their models.

A screener is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If your child might need formal accommodations (an IEP or 504 plan), or you suspect a vision, hearing or medical cause, pursue a professional evaluation too. That is the only route to those supports.
