Jet Training

Jet: A Fast Paced Reading Intervention

Jet: A Fast Paced Reading Intervention is a one-year curriculum written by the staff of the Luke Waites Center for Dyslexia and Learning Disorders at Scottish Rite for Children. Jet builds on the success of the four previous dyslexia intervention programs developed by the staff of Scottish Rite for Children: Alphabetic Phonics, the Dyslexia Training Program, Scottish Rite for Children Literacy Program, and Take Flight: A Comprehensive Intervention for Students with Dyslexia. Jet is an eight hour training for Take Flight therapists and will be offered as a five day training for all individuals trained to the therapy level at a later date.

Five Components of Effective Reading Instruction

Jet contains the five components of effective reading instruction identified by research from the National Reading Panel. Jet addresses each component by:

  • Phonemic Awareness – following established procedures for explicitly teaching the relationships between speech- sound production and spelling-sound patterns
  • Phonics – providing a systematic approach for single word decoding
  • Fluency – using research-proven directed practice in repeated reading of words, phrases and passages to help individuals read newly encountered text more fluently
  • Vocabulary – featuring multiple word learning strategies (definitional, structural, contextual) and explicit teaching techniques with application in text
  • Reading Comprehension – teaching individuals to explicitly use and articulate multiple comprehension strategies in narrative and expository text (i.e., cooperative learning, story structure, question generation and answering, summarization and comprehension monitoring)

The Jet Intervention Kit costs $485 and will be purchased through the Scottish Rite for Children (SRC) online portal. After registration and payment for the training are received, instructions to purchase materials from SRC will be emailed. The purchase of a kit is required to attend the BUILD training.
