OG/Wilson Phonics Instruction

Contact us for more information.
Comprehension: Elementary, Middle, & High School School
For students who "read well", but still don't understand what they're reading.
After an initial assessment, students will start an appropriate intervention from independent practice in novel studies to more research-based programs like STARI Phonics for Reading, and Rewards. As students participate in progress monitoring every 8-12 weeks, clinicians respond by adjusting instruction as necessary. This is a high growth intervention model.
