About The Program
Reading Ready uses an Orton-Gillingham based approach, implementing programming practices from a variety of successful methods.
Orton-Gillingham is a structured approach to teaching literacy. Orton-Gillingham teaches students to identify the connections between sounds and letters. Students will learn how to identify and understand patterns in words. They will be taught effective strategies and rules in reading and spelling in a multi-sensory fashion.
Instruction will be:
Multi-sensory
Visual (seeing), auditory (hearing) and kinesthetic (hands-on) learning
Sequential
Lessons are taught in a well-planned sequence
Incremental
Lessons will continually build on previous sessions
Cumulative
On-going and consistent reviews of previously taught skills and rules will be provided
A proven benefit of learning literacy skills is increased confidence and improved self-esteem.
The Reading Tree
One fun way to visualize Reading Ready’s results is to imagine the process as an apple tree, ready to grow and flourish!
With a variety of important foundational skills as the roots, and our effective methods of instruction that introduce them, together we can help your child harvest an improved sense of confidence and fluency that will last a lifetime.
