Literacy Launch - " Earobics Literacy Launch is a research-based early literacy solution designed to ensure that all students have the foundational skills they need to be successful readers. Earobics Literacy Launch provides rich, diverse language experiences and facilitates the transition from spoken language to print." Read, Write & Type Children learn to hear the individual sounds in words, and associate each sound with a letter and a fingerstroke on the keyboard. Children use their eyes, ears, mouths, and fingers. This multi-sensory and motor approach stimulates learning and helps children who have different learning styles. Children develop fluency by making thousands of letter-sound (phonics) associations. Children are engaged and motivated by the colorful characters, games, animations, and music. Remedial Programs LANGUAGE A Literacy Intervention Curriculum Give your older kids a second chance to master grade-level reading. A comprehensive literacy intervention curriculum for grades 1-12, LANGUAGE ! prepares students to return to conventional curricula by advancing them from current performance levels to grade placement level. Lindamood-Bell "OUR APPROACH to LEARNING IS GLOBAL, BALANCED, and INTERACTIVE. Lindamood-Bell is an organization dedicated to enhancing human learning. We were founded by the authors of critically acclaimed programs that develop the sensory-cognitive processes that underlie reading, spelling, language comprehension, math, and visual motor skills. Our Process-Based education™ programs are for individuals ranging from severely learning disabled to academically gifted–ages 5 years through adult. " Open Court Reading "Open Court Reading 2002 is a complete elementary basal reading program for Grades K-6. It maintains strong instruction in the areas of decoding (learning how to read), comprehension (understanding what you read), inquiry and investigation (learning how to apply what you have read), and writing (how to communicate with others in print). There are also applications for teaching spelling, vocabulary, grammar, usage, and mechanics, penmanship, and listening, speaking, and viewing." Orton-Gillingham Approach "The Orton-Gillingham approach is appropriate for teaching individuals, small groups, and classrooms. It is appropriate for teaching in the primary, elementary, intermediate grades, and at the secondary and college level as well as for adults. The explicit focus of the approach has been and continues to be upon persons with the kinds of language processing problems associated with dyslexia. Early intervention is highly desirable, but it is never too late to begin!" Phono-Graphix "The theoretical underpinnings of Phono-Graphix are remarkably straightforward and sensible, no doubt encouraging its rapid spread and popularity among teachers. It is based simply on the nature of the English code, the three skills needed to access that code, and teaching these in keeping with the way children learn. The following page describes this in greater detail." Project Read "Project Read/Language Circle is a research based mainstream language arts program for students who need a systematic learning experience with direct teaching of concepts and skills through multisensory techniques." Reading Mastery Plus "Reading Mastery Plus gives students the skills and the clear, explicit instruction and guidance they need to master the fundamentals of reading. Oral language, phonemic awareness, and systematic phonics are the starting point. This program is set up so students are active participants throughout the learning process. Less-structured activities and opportunities for independent work help students develop self-reliance. Ongoing assessment tools are used by the instructor to ensure that no student "falls though the cracks." Slingerland Institute for Literacy "The Slingerland Institute for Literacy is a non-profit organization that trains teachers to work with dyslexic students in their classrooms using the Slingerland Multisensory Approach. This methodology is a simultaneous, multisensory, structured approach for teaching language arts in the classroom. The Slingerland Multisensory Approach for Teaching Language Arts Training Course is accredited at the Teacher and Instructor of Teaching levels by the International Multisensory Structured Language Educational Council (IMSLEC). " Spalding Education International "Spalding Education International is the only organization authorized by Romalda B. Spalding to provide instruction in The Spalding Method for reading, writing, and spelling." Success For All - SFA Components -Reading and Writing Programs "During reading periods, students are regrouped across age lines for 90 minutes so that each reading class contains students reading at one level. This eliminates the need to have reading groups within the class and increases the amount of time for direct instruction. Also, use of tutors as reading teachers during reading time reduces the size of most reading classes. The reading program in grades K-1 emphasizes the development of language skills and launches students into reading using phonetically regular storybooks supported by careful instruction that focuses on phonemic awareness, auditory discrimination, and sound blending as well as meaning, context, and self-monitoring strategies. Students become fluent as they read and reread to one another in pairs. " Success For All - Reading Wings "A comprehensive, research-based approach to reading and writing for grades two and beyond. Reading Wings consists of four principal elements: listening comprehension, story-related activities, direct instruction in reading comprehension, and integrated writing/language arts. In all of these activities, students work in heterogeneous learning teams. Students are assigned to pairs or triads; then the pairs are assigned to teams. Mainstreamed, academically handicapped, and Title I-identified students are evenly distributed among the teams. All activities follow a regular cycle that involves teacher presentation, team practice, independent practice, peer pre-assessment, additional practice, assessment, and team recognition. " Wilson Language Training "At Wilson Language Training our experience shows that many people, regardless of their age, have not been able to acquire reading and writing skills because their learning needs have never been properly assessed. The majority of these people are subject to a core deficit at the most basic level of language skill: that of phonological coding."
