Remediation Plus Systems
- All Grades
- Based on the theory which is most cutting edge, phonological awareness training and explicit systematic synthetic phonics
- Dramatically improves both Early Intervention and Special Education LD students
- Orton Gillingham philosophy of modality connection is honoured, the strong and weak modalities work simultaneously to improve the student`s ability to read, spell and write
- 2 day Teacher Training on a comprehensive step by step curriculum creates explicitly trained teachers
- Train the Trainer 4 day certification process
- Small group intervention works well
- 48 of the systematic 85 lessons assures 3 grade improvements in 95% of children
- Many children can leave the programme after only 32 of the 1 hour lessons (grade 1 and 2)
- Pre Post testing and analysis module
- Less expensive both to purchase the materials and to train the teachers
RR- Reading Recovery
- Grade 1 only
- RR is delivering the research of the day haphazardly as text is introduced rather than explicitly and systematically
- Does not teach spelling explicitly
- Does not have a step by step teacher training system curriculum so training takes one year
- One on One intervention only
- 60 lessons recommended
- Training is more costly
Less success with LD kids than R+ because the lesson plan is not based on the astounding work of Orton Gillingham, reading, spelling and writing is interconnected therefore some children will not succeed!
