Instruction is highly individualized and systematically targets development of reading and spelling skills. A variety of research-based reading and spelling resources based on the Orton-Gillingham approach may be utilized, specific to the needs of each child. Daily sessions include:

• individual and small-group instruction, tailored to student-specific needs.

• computer-based instruction for further practice with phonological, decoding and encoding skills.

Instructional Goals

• Develop pre- and early-literacy skills.

• Increase phonemic awareness skills including rhyming, blending, segmenting, and sound manipulation.

• Improve knowledge of alphabetic code for reading and spelling skills.

• Develop syllabification skills and morphological awareness to enhance reading and spelling (e.g., recognition of prefixes, suffixes, roots).

• Enhance reading accuracy and fluency for comprehension.

Post-testing shows, on average, 15–20% gains in foundational reading and spelling skills.
