The skill of reading requires matching letters to sounds, sounds to words, and words to expression. A jumble of sounds and symbols can become a smooth path to reading if dyslexic individuals are given the proper instruction – like that found in our Dyslexia Literacy Language Program - Alphabetic Phonics (Cox) certified by ALTA for teachers and parents.

As a parent you will find a Literacy Intervention Specialist to be a higher level of effective help than is "tutoring."

A question parents often ask us is, “What makes your reading program different?”

 

We often recommend our Dyslexia Literacy Langauge Program (Alphabetic Phonics – Cox) to parents who want help for a child with dyslexia.

 

Literacy Intervention Specialist Training is an ungraded, multisensory curriculum, based on research evidence from the Science of Reading studies.

 

The course teaches the structure of the English language.

 

This phonetic program teaches reading, handwriting, spelling, verbal and written expression and comprehension by simultaneously engaging the visual, auditory and kinesthetic modalities for a student.

 

The course is an intervention or remediation program that is prescriptive, focusing on each individual student's needs.

 

This differs from traditional tutoring programs, which often are scripted the same for every child.

 

Literacy Intervention can be taught to individuals or small groups of any age.

 

Each daily, one-hour session is structured to alternate modalities by including 10 different activities: alphabet, review of letters, review of sounds, multisensory introduction of a new letter, reading, cursive handwriting, spelling, verbal expression, review and listening.

 

Research validates that our Literacy Intervention Specialist methods (Alphabetic Phonics) work for many students who struggle to read if administered systematically and explicitly.

 

At the Andeel Teacher Literacy Institute at Phillips Fundamental Learning Center, our Qualified Instructors (certified by ALTA) teach adult learners the Structured Literacy Intervention Specialist curriculum.

 

We certify these trainees to become Literacy Intervention Specialists and Certified Academic Language Therapists after meeting a number of requirements, including student contact hours and observations.

 

When parents arrive at the center looking for answers about how to help their children improve at reading, we give them several options.

 

One of these options is networking them with one of our trained professionals so they are able to set up private tutoring sessions. Another option for some parents is taking our Literacy Intervention Specialist courses featuring Alphabetic Phonics methods themselves.
