Our Methodology
A Structured Literacy Approach Rooted in Orton–Gillingham Principles
01
What is Structured Literacy?
Our instruction explicitly covers:
-
Phonology – understanding and manipulating sounds in spoken language
-
Sound–symbol relationships – connecting letters and letter patterns to sounds
-
Syllable instruction – breaking words into manageable, predictable parts
-
Morphology – understanding prefixes, suffixes, and root words
-
Syntax – sentence structure and grammar
-
Semantics – meaning and comprehension
02
Framework
Our instruction is:
Explicit
Skills are taught directly and clearly. We never assume a student will “pick it up.”
​
Systematic & Sequential
Lessons follow a carefully planned progression from simple to complex.
​
Cumulative
New learning is continually reinforced through review and application.
​
Diagnostic & Prescriptive
Instruction is adjusted in real time based on student performance and progress.
​
Multi‑Sensory
Students engage visual, auditory, and kinesthetic pathways simultaneously strengthening neural connections and retention.
03
