Dyslexia Program

Paris ISD Dyslexia Program:

  • Take Flight:  A Comprehensive Intervention for Students with Dyslexia is a curriculum written by the staff of the Luke Waites Center for Dyslexia and Learning Disorders of Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children. The curriculum was designed for use by academic language therapists to enable students with dyslexia to achieve and maintain better word recognition, reading, fluency, reading comprehension and aid in the transition from a therapy setting to a “real world” learning. Take Flight contains five components of effective reading instruction: Phonemic awareness, Word strategies, Vocabulary, Fluency, and Comprehension.
  • Reading by Design:  Reading by Design is a systematic, multisensory approach aligned with research-based practices for developing literacy.  This program was developed by ESC Region 4.

Quick Tip Information

Quick Tip is a support system that allows students to communicate with school administrators. While the district already has many programs to help students deal with challenges such as bullying behaviors, stress, peer pressure, and family problems, Quick Tip helps break the code of silence often experienced by students because it allows them to report concerns to administrators anonymously.

Submit from App
SchoolMessenger Quick Tip app is available for both iOS (iTunes App Store) and Android devices (Google Play). Download SchoolMessenger Quick Tip App. When launching the app for the first time, you will be prompted to enter the school district code. The school district code is paristx.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This is not a crisis line. In cases of emergency, the site will direct students to call 911!
