Dyslexia Services
Children learn to read, write and spell in different ways. A balanced reading program should meet the needs of most students. Students who do not learn to read, write, and spell when presented with a broad, balanced reading program should be offered a variety of alternative strategies to meet this goal. If these alternative strategies are not successful, students who exhibit signs of dyslexia may need more specific intervention strategies. Windthorst Independent School District offers a Dyslexia Program to students at each campus who meet the eligibility criteria. Students will be served by a trained teacher with a program which includes the critical, evidence-based components of phonological awareness, sound-symbol association, syllabication, orthography, morphology, syntax, reading comprehension and fluency. Students identified as showing signs of dyslexia will be given support and appropriate instructional interventions in order to be successful in their academic career.
Meet Cindy Peterson
Hey! I am Cindy Peterson, and I am the elementary dyslexia teacher for Windthorst!!
I am a Texas Tech graduate, and have 20 years experience in Wichita Falls ISD as a pre-kindergarten and kindergarten teacher! I started teaching dyslexia 3 years ago, and absolutely love it and my kids! I have been married to my husband, Kyle, for over 20 years, who is part owner of Berend Bros. We have two daughters, Claire and Courtney. Claire just graduated from Windthorst and will attend Texas Tech in the fall, and Courtney is a junior here at Windthorst High School! We love watching Courtney play sports and cheering her and the other Trojanettes on!
