▶︎ What You Need to Know about Lindermood-Bell
The TalkiesⓇ program 
  • The Talkies® program ​​— the primer to the Visualizing and Verbalizing (V/V) program—is designed for students who need simpler, smaller steps of instruction to establish the imagery-language connection. The question was whether dual coding could be stimulated and developed for children with severely delayed language development or for those diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder. It seemed clear that these children might be the most impaired in terms of creating and accessing imagery, the other half of the code.​​
The Visualizing and VerbalizingⓇ (V/VⓇ ) program ​
  • The Visualizing and Verbalizing® (V/V®) program develops concept imagery—the ability to create an imagined or imaged gestalt from language. Recommended for students with Hyperlexia, who received Visualizing and Verbalizing instruction achieved significant improvements in comprehension. Also creates step by step approach to expressive language for oral practise.

The Seeing Stars Ⓡ : Symbol Imagery for Phonemic Awareness, Sight Words, and Spelling Program (SI)
The LiPSⓇ Program
  • The LiPS® Program teaches students to discover and label the oral-motor movements of phonemes. Students can then verify the identity, number, and sequence of sounds in words. The contribution of the LiPS® Program is the development of an oral-motor, visual, and auditory feedback system that enables all students to prove the identity, number, and order of phonemes in syllables and words. It is more basic and more extensive than traditional phonics programs.
For parents whose child is experiencing a communication difficulty, Hanen’s specialized programs can provide them with the tools they need for helping their child reach his or her fullest communication potential. ​

Autism Spectrum Disorder
More Than Words® - The Hanen Program® for Parents of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder or Social Communication Difficulties

​Literacy
The Hanen I'm Ready!™ Program for Building Early Literacy in the Home
​
  • Designed for parents of children aged 3-5 years old (typically developing, at risk of language delay or with a mild language delay), I'm Ready! offers parents the chance to help their children develop the literacy skills they need before starting school. Parents learn simple strategies that are fun for children and can be used while sharing books or throughout the day.
The highly structured program introduces the idea of breaking reading and spelling down into smaller skills involving letters and sounds, and then building on these skills over time. It also pioneered the “multisensory” approach to teaching reading, which is considered the gold standard for teaching students with dyslexia. ​

This ungraded, multisensory curriculum teaches phonics and the structure of language at both the elementary and secondary levels. Using the Orton-Gillingham approach, it teaches handwriting, spelling, reading, reading comprehension and oral and written expression.
​
The I Can Read System originally came about through research conducted between 1995 and 2000 by Antony Earnshaw and Annabel Seargeant. It is structured, cumulative and hierarchical, and is the first system in the world to link clusters of letters to single sounds in a unique manner.
A great tutoring system for children, teenagers, or adults who struggle with spelling, reading, and writing due to dyslexia or a learning disability.

The Barton Reading Program is a teaching method created for students with dyslexia. It’s one of several reading programs that are based on the highly structured Orton–Gillingham approach. But it’s aimed at a somewhat different audience.
​
Barton was designed to be used by people without educational training. It comes with videos that explain how to teach each lesson. And it offers free, unlimited phone and online support. Lessons are highly structured and carefully scripted.

The Wilson Reading System (WRS) is an instructional program used to help struggling readers. It’s one of several programs that uses the highly structured Orton–Gillinghamapproach. WRS is most widely used with upper elementary students, middle-schoolers and high-schoolers.

What It Focuses On Like other programs based on Orton–Gillingham, WRS is “multisensory.” It uses visual, auditory, kinesthetic and tactile senses to help kids make connections between sounds and words. But the materials may be simpler and more direct than the ones used in other programs.

  • Just Words® is a highly explicit, multisensory decoding and spelling program for students in grades 4–12 and adults who have mild to moderate gaps in their decoding and spelling proficiency but do not require intensive intervention. The program is designed for students with below-average decoding and spelling scores and should be combined with other literature-rich programs.

​

OTHER DYSLEXIA RESOURCES

​Davis Dyslexia Association International

The Davis Dyslexia Correction program does not explicitly teach phonetic decoding strategies, but it provides intensive, short-term guidance and practice in just about every other area that may create barriers for dyslexic students. These strategies include:
  • Specific, easily learned techniques to focus and sustain attention;
  • Sensitization to internal feelings associated with perceptual errors, such as letter reversals, and to self-correct;
  • A comprehensive approach to reading mastery by combined study of the appearance, sound, and meaning of words;
  • Reading practice techniques to build awareness of letter sequence, whole word recognition, and sentence comprehension.
