Literacy

Speech-to-text instructional methods, a component of the highly effective, evidence-based teaching model, are utilized to provide impactful reading interventions. Although trained in the Orton-Gillingham approach, certification in EBLI (Evidence-Based Literacy Instruction) has revolutionized our instruction. EBLI is a comprehensive, research-based framework that integrates phonemic awareness, phonics, spelling, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, and writing within authentic grade-level texts. This approach helps students quickly generalize decoding and spelling skills while also building vocabulary and content knowledge.

EBLI instruction accelerates literacy improvements for all students. It improves engagement, interest, and pattern recognition. A critical difference is that EBLI reduces the cognitive load of memorizing rules and processing too much verbiage. EBLI is a game-changer for students who lag, despite years of intervention. It is aligned with reading science and learning research and is especially powerful for students struggling with attention challenges. At WordsWorth, the components of effective reading instruction are provided based on a sound understanding of an individual child’s particular learning difficulty.

Therapy is based on thorough assessments and ongoing progress monitoring.

Executive Function

Executive Functions are the skills a student needs in order to plan actions toward meeting goals, to use information flexibly, to realize the ramifications of behavior, and to make reasonable inferences based on limited information. (Banich, 2009)

We support students in developing the executive function skills they will need to be successful at creating goals, planning and sequencing their actions, integrating new information, and self-monitoring.

Eighty-five percent of adults with dyslexia who had accommodations in school did not self-disclose their dyslexia to their employers because they were afraid of discrimination or of losing their job (Gerber & Price, 2008)
