Helping Striving Readers
Logic of English provides a systematic approach to reading and spelling instruction that is effective for all learners. The methods we use align closely with those recommended by the Report of the National Reading Panel and the International Dyslexia Association. Logic of English curriculum helps students become successful readers by:
- Teaching students the 75 basic phonograms and 31 spelling rules they need to master English reading and spelling systematically.
- Providing engaging practice activities that help students review concepts, strengthen skills, and think critically about what they are learning.
- Placing extensive emphasis on the five strands of reading identified as essential by the National Reading Panel: phonemic awareness, systematic phonics, vocabulary development, fluency, and reading comprehension.
- Using multimodal learning pathways to deepen learning. When students learn new concepts like phonograms, they see its image, hear its sounds, feel the shape of the letter with their fingers, form its shape with large motor and then small motor movements, and speak the sounds.
Instead of asking students to memorize the hundreds of "exceptions" and half-true spelling rules that striving readers often find discouraging, Logic of English teaches rules that accurately describe English spelling. Logic of English designed the materials to be easy to use while maintaining flexibility to adapt to the needs of the students. Logic of English makes systematic phonics easily accessible to parents and teachers.
