Supporting Research
Twenty percent of the U.S. population has some form of learning challenge. Research compiled over the past thirty years has shown that these students require instruction in phonemic awareness. The Language Tune-up Kit is particularly well suited to students with learning problems. It teaches the phonemic awareness skills necessary to acquire reading proficiency at all grade levels. It is also appropriate for students who can speak English and are literate or illiterate in non-English languages. The Orton-Gillingham method of explicit, systematic, intensive, and sequential instruction of phonics has been recognized as the most comprehensive method of its kind, teaching millions of students since the 1930s. It is the most researched and most successful of all remediation techniques available today.
About the Curriculum
The curriculum is based on the Orton-Gillingham method of explicit, direct, systematic, intensive, and sequential phonics. It comes with support for the most popular languages- Spanish, Russian, German and French – over 20 in total.
The beginning stage of language learning is the most crucial as it is the foundation of language development. If this foundation is not strong, then further development will be deficient.
Since less than a few percent of all school teachers are qualified to teach ESL, the LTK helps to bridge the skill gap by helping non-native English speakers acquire and improve their English skills.
The LTK effectively helps students to be able to read instructions in their native language from Grade 2 through high school and adult.
