Traditional literacy programs rely on whole language approaches, which emphasize learning through exposure to complete texts rather than on explicit instruction of phonics and language structure.
Reading therapy, also known as Structured Literacy offers systematic, explicit, and multisensory instruction which is essential for struggling readers and those with learning differences.
Science of Reading
A comprehensive body of research that provides us with information about which parts of the brain are responsible for reading development and how we learn to read. From this empirically supported research, we find that structured literacy instruction is the most effective approach.
Orton-Gillingham Approach
Often considered the Gold Standard for reading instruction. It closely follows research from the Science of Reading and breaks reading and spelling down into skills involving letters and sounds and builds on these skills over time. It places an emphasis on multi-sensory instructional techniques.
