Resources for READING SUCCESS


Recommended for Systematic, Intensive, Direct and Early (SIDE)

Orton Gillingham Approach--In the 1930s, Dr. Samuel Orton, a neurologist, and Anna Gillingham, an educator and psychologist, developed an educational approach based on direct phonics instruction. Many students need help bridging the gap between the sounds of English and their association with symbols. They found that breaking language down into simple, easy to understand pieces and then teaching them using explicit, systematic, multisensory, and structured lessons was effective reading instruction for all students.

Building reading skills is like building a house. Phonemic awareness, phonics, decoding, encoding, fluency and vocabulary skills interlace to create a strong foundation. Each skill adds strength to the foundation of the reading house, until layer upon layer, brick by brick, skill by skill, the final product emerges—a strong, independent reader. 

Dr. Orton and Ms. Gillingham’s method is now known interchangeably as either Orton-Gillingham or Multisensory Structured Language (MSL) or Structured Literacy. Orton Gillingham Teacher training. Online Orton Gillingham

DIRECT INSTRUCTION-- Direct Instruction (DI) Siegfried Engleman and Dr. Wesley Becker Direct Instruction (DI) is a model for teaching that emphasizes well-developed and carefully planned lessons designed around small learning increments and clearly defined and prescribed teaching tasks. It is based on the theory that clear instruction eliminating misinterpretations can greatly improve and accelerate learning.

Its creators, Siegfried Engelmann and Dr. Wesley Becker, and their colleagues believe, and have proved, that correctly applied DI can improve academic performance as well as certain affective behaviors. It is currently in use in thousands of schools across the nation as well as in Canada, the UK and Australia. Schools using DI accept a vision that actually delivers many outcomes only promised by other models.
