What About the 30%?
We teach to the 30%, but reach
100%
What We Do
•Students can struggle with reading due to gaps in education.•ELL students with little understanding of the structure of the English language.•Up to 80% of those with learning disabilities have a processing disorder that will affect their reading and language processing abilities (Hoover, 2002).•Most lack a solid foundation in phonemic awareness and explicit, phonics instruction.
Reasons for Reading Issues:
The dag writox is smowk and spi. Runchet is shonsig, but Thift and Fenel are woagly skeag. Phin can wrozz and Bappet can vox, but Phin can’t shass. Bappet will densing and runchet in the mirrunsic blage.

Dyslexic students “can learn these relationships with intensive phonics training. . . After more than a century of frustration, it has now been shown that the brain can be rewired.”
Dr. Sally Shaywitz
Research Shows:
What Does This Mean?
So What Do We Do?
• We teach the way the research has shown to be the most effective type of instruction.
• We teach to the way our students’ brains learn.
• We empower teachers with skills and strategies so that they can empower our students!

Framework Applied
• If students are taught phonics explicitly, sequentially, and systematically they can become automatic readers. Once we point out the systematic framework of our language, they can’t help but see it!
• If we teach to the way our students learn, they can be successful.
• We can empower our teachers with evidence-based and time-tested strategies that can change our students’ lives forever.

Teacher’s Instruction
• Train teachers in explicit phonics instruction, vocabulary instruction and how to address ELL’s and struggling reader’s specific needs.
• Continue to support and increase teacher knowledge and skill set for fidelity of implementation and program success.
• Provide training that will make all of your teachers reading specialists and dramatically change your school’s/district’s reading culture.
