Tier 1 curriculum in action
Decodable Reader (Into Reading) & Phonemic Awareness (Heggerty)
The ISME (Institute for Multi-Sensory Education) Orton-Gillingham curriculum is a structured, multisensory approach to teaching reading, writing, and spelling, particularly designed for students with dyslexia or other reading difficulties. Based on the Orton-Gillingham method, it emphasizes phonics, spelling patterns, and grammar, using visual, auditory, and tactile activities to reinforce learning. The curriculum is systematic and sequential, moving from simple to complex concepts, and focuses on mastery at each level before progressing. It also includes individualized instruction to meet the needs of each student, helping them build strong literacy skills.
