Structured Literacy Programs for Dyslexia at READ Academy
At READ Academy, our private school program is built upon a foundation of structured literacy designed to support students with dyslexia and other learning differences. We understand the unique challenges these students face and have crafted our curriculum to provide targeted, evidence-based instruction that fosters academic growth and personal development. By combining multisensory techniques, individualized attention, and a supportive learning environment, we help our students unlock their full potential.
A Comprehensive Approach to Structured Literacy
READ Academy’s commitment to structured literacy is evident throughout our curriculum. From language arts to mathematics, our research-backed, evidence-based programs are carefully chosen to provide the most effective instruction for students with dyslexia.
Our language arts curriculum features the Wilson Reading System (WRS), a structured literacy program based on phonological-coding research and Orton-Gillingham principles. Through direct, systematic instruction in word structure, word recognition, spelling, and comprehension skills, WRS helps students develop a solid foundation in reading and writing.
To complement our reading instruction, we utilize the Institute for Excellence in Writing (IEW) curriculum, which provides sequential, systematic instruction to help even the most reluctant writers become proficient communicators. Students learn to think clearly and express themselves eloquently and persuasively by honing their writing skills.
Multisensory Learning Across Disciplines
At READ Academy, we recognize the importance of multisensory learning for students with dyslexia. Our structured literacy approach extends beyond language arts, incorporating hands-on, engaging instruction across all subjects.
In mathematics, we employ the Making Math Real (MMR) methodology, which provides a multisensory, structured approach to math instruction. Through hands-on experiences and the integration of key cognitive elements, MMR supports executive function and working memory while providing comprehensive knowledge of mathematics for students of all abilities.
Our social studies and science curriculum, Moving Beyond the Page (MBP), is a literature-based approach that encourages critical and creative thinking skills. With project-based learning opportunities designed for dyslexic learners, MBP helps students explore these subjects in a way that is both engaging and accessible.
Individualized Support and a Nurturing Environment
Central to READ Academy’s success is our commitment to providing individualized attention and support to each student. Our dyslexia assessment process allows us to identify each student’s specific learning profile, enabling our dedicated instructors to create customized learning plans that target areas of difficulty and build upon strengths.
Small class sizes ensure that every student receives the personalized attention they need to thrive. Our experienced educators, specializing in structured literacy and multisensory learning, work collaboratively to create a supportive, inclusive educational environment where students feel comfortable, motivated, and inspired.
