Dyslexia Therapy

We use Take Flight: a Comprehensive Intervention for Students with Dyslexia for students in 2nd grade-adult. Take Flight is a structured literacy program that is evidence-based and backed by research. It was written by the staff at Luke Waites Center for Dyslexia and Learning Disorders at Scottish Rite for Children’s Hospital specifically for students with dyslexia, but a diagnosis is not required to participate in the program. During our sessions, we will use current best practices to:

  • Strengthen phonological awareness skills through multi-sensory games and riddles.

  • Develop reading fluency through lesson aspects that focus on automaticity and prosody.

  • Uncover phonics patterns through a structured literacy approach, which is explicit, systematic, and multi-sensory.

  • Examine roots and affixes to aid in vocabulary understanding.

  • Foster comprehension development with techniques to improve thinking before, during, and after reading.

  • Improve spelling using a comprehensive word-study approach.

  • Strengthen writing skills through strategy instruction and model texts.

  • Connect all components of literacy to aid in the development of lifelong readers and thinkers.
