Reading Therapy
We provide the highest quality, research-based instruction in the five components of reading as identified by the National Reading Panel: phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and reading comprehension. Our programs also address deficits in decoding, spelling, grammar, and cursive writing.
All of our programs are Orton-Gillingham-based. Orton-Gillingham is a structured literacy approach that is multi-sensory (visual, auditory, tactile and kinesthetic). This methodology is sequential, systematic and cumulative. It breaks down reading and spelling into smaller skills, such as letters and sounds, and builds on them over time. All structured language programs offer multiple repetitions that have been shown to create appropriate neural pathways. They are based on the science of reading and emphasize explicit instruction in phonics, decoding, and other foundational reading skills.
After an assessment, a student is placed in the program that best meets his/her learning needs.
For optimal progress, four sessions per week are recommended; A minimum of two sessions per week are required.
We provide reading therapy for ages 5+. Tuition Fees are $75 per session.
We are an approved vendor under
Arkansas’ Education Freedom Account program which provides funding for students in private or home schools.
Student Reading Programs
A structured, multi-sensory program that addresses the 5 components of Reading Instruction as mandated by the National Reading Panel: Phonological Awareness, Phonics, Fluency, Vocabulary and Comprehension. It also addresses spelling, morphology and grammar proficiencies.
Unique in that it uses mouth/sound pictures that help children identify and appropriately articulate all 44 sounds in the English Language while utilizing the mouth/sound pictures for spelling as well. It is a highly intensive, and explicit intervention for children with a diagnosis of dyslexia, children who show indicators for dyslexia or who have consistently been reading below grade level benchmark expectations.
This program is designed for students age 8 or grade 2 and above.
First Grade Foundations / Structured Language Basics
This program is designed for younger students and those who are not in need of the deep intervention intensity of Take Flight (above).
The curriculum includes explicit instruction in the structure of the English Language beginning with phonological awareness and moving toward a full understanding of the Alphabetic Principle. Students are engaged in discovering the link between the name, shape, feel and sound of all letters. Students practice newly acquired skills through decodable text and multi-sensory games. Students will also use multi-sensory handwriting to develop fluency in writing and will learn age/grade appropriate spelling, grammar, and writing skills.
Brightwire is a complete, multi-sensory program based on the Orton-Gillingham methodology. This program helps students build phonological awareness, with specific emphasis on early blending and segmenting skills. The program includes cursive handwriting instruction, along with instruction in the six-syllable types, syllable division, morphology, and advanced decoding skills. It includes instruction in semantics, vocabulary, and grammar.
A fast-paced reading intervention that builds on the success of the other dyslexia intervention programs developed by the staff of Scottish Rite for Children. It was developed for people with dyslexia fourteen years and older.
Navigate Reading & Crossing the Bridge
Designed for younger students (Kindergarten & some First Grade) whose deficits are detected early.
