Literacy & Dyslexia Training Workshops
Structured Literacy & Dyslexia Workshops for Educators and Schools
Our professional development workshops provide in-depth, practical training for educators, schools, and districts seeking clarity and effectiveness in supporting reading difficulties in multilingual learners, including dyslexia. Based in Boa Esperança, Minas Gerais and available virtually, these sessions are led by Juliette M. Betancourt, Licensed Dyslexia Therapist (LDT), CALT, and Reading Specialist, bringing over 20 years of experience in bilingual education and literacy intervention.
Participants consistently share that these workshops are “the first time everything finally made sense”—especially when navigating the complexities of dyslexia identification in bilingual and ELL students. Each workshop translates the Science of Reading and structured literacy into clear, actionable strategies that can be applied immediately in classrooms.
