The Science of Reading is a research-based approach that deciphers the intricate code of language learning. It delves deep into understanding how our brains process written language and how to best teach this skill to learners of all levels. Unlike traditional methods that rely on memorization, the Science of Reading focuses on the fundamental building blocks of language - phonology, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension.

But why is the Science of Reading so effective?
 

1.     A Solid Foundation: It starts at the foundation, emphasizing phonological awareness. Children learn to recognize and manipulate the sounds of language, a crucial skill for reading and spelling.

2.     Phonics Mastery: The Science of Reading places a strong emphasis on phonics, teaching students the connection between letters and sounds systematically. This enables them to decode unfamiliar words with ease.

3.     Fluency and Comprehension: Through practice, learners develop fluency, allowing them to read with accuracy, speed, and comprehension. They not only read words but also understand the text.

4.     Individualized Approach: It recognizes that each child is unique in their learning style. Whether a child is an auditory, visual, or kinesthetic learner, the Science of Reading adapts to their needs.

  1.     Multisensory Learning: Orton Gillingham engages multiple senses - seeing, hearing, and touching. This approach strengthens memory and understanding by involving various pathways in the brain.

2.     Sequential and Cumulative: It follows a structured, step-by-step progression. Concepts are introduced in a logical order, ensuring that each skill builds upon the previous one.

3.     Individualized and Flexible: Orton Gillingham recognizes that children have different learning styles and paces. Lessons can be tailored to suit the unique needs of each learner.

4.     Long-lasting Mastery: Through its comprehensive approach, Orton Gillingham fosters long-lasting mastery of language skills, enabling students to become confident and independent readers and writers.
