Our Orton-Gillingham Reading Programs
We offer three Orton-Gillingham reading programs for three different age groups. These programs are comprised of a lesson-based
workbook along with a web-app. The web-apps contain teaching tools
and, for the two programs for younger students, phonics games.
If you're teaching to a class or teaching remotely, you can use the apps with lesson slides so that the book is not required.
Specifically, for the I Can Fly Reading Program (ages 5 to 7) you can use the PREMIUM app, which contains the lesson slides. For
Blast Off to Reading (ages 8 to 13), you can use the lesson slides app along with the PREMIUM PLUS app. We currently do not
offer any remote teaching tools for A Workbook for Dyslexics (ages 14 to adult). Click on the book below to learn more about
the reading program.

FAQ About Our Online Apps
Our apps will run on any device that uses a browser. This includes tablets, mobile phones,
PCs, Macs, and Chromebooks.
Yes, in order to run the apps, you will need to be connected to the internet.
Even though the web apps will scale to the size of a mobile phone, due to the size limitations, we do not recommend that they be used.
This, of course, is ultimately up to your preference. Our Arcade games are, however, made to be enjoyed on mobile phones since we want to encourage students
to use the coins they've earned on their devices.
Browsers save files in cache so loading will take less time when you open the app in the future.
Unfortunately, this can cause problems if the browser is updated, a cached file becomes corrupt, or when a change is made to the web app.
Some files may update, while others don't, which can cause the app to not
load or, if it does load, it may not operate properly. Your browser needs to be told to do a complete reload (not the same as a refresh).
There are a few ways to make your browser reload all web pages.
For Chrome and Edge
1. Do a reload by pressing the keyboard keys: shift, ctrl, R; note that you press the keys in that order, holding them down at the same time.
2. If #1 above does not work, press the function key F12. You will see developer information either on the bottom or side of your screen. Then press the refresh button on the browser (the little
circle with the arrow). The web app should refresh with a complete reload, and then you can then 'x' out of the developer window.
3. If you tried the above and still are having problems, then you may need to clear parts of your browser's cache. To do this, open your browser,
then type CTRL, SHIFT, Delete (at the same time). This will bring up a window such as the one below.
Next, select to clear cached images and files,
as shown. Make sure all other
boxes are not checked.

For Other Browsers
You will have to do a "reload web page" for your browser,
note that this is different from a "refresh". If you don't know how to do this, you can try the above for Edge and Chrome.
If that doesn't work, you should do a search on how to reload a website for the browser you're using. If you are unable to
do that, then you may have to clear your browser's cache (as a last resort). See your browser's instructions on how to do that.
If you're still having trouble, please make sure you have the latest browser version installed. Also, you will need to allow cookies to
be stored and allow local storage to be used. To verify that your device will run our apps, run
the HTML5 validator to make sure your settings are
correct.
Mobile phones require that the ringer is used as a mute button. To get sound, please make sure your ringer is on and that
your device is not muted. If you believe your ringer is on and you're still not getting sound, use headphones. If you're getting sound with
headphones, then your device is muted.
If you have multiple apps open, there may not be enough memory to handle the functions of the app. Please close all open apps and then
reopen the web app. If it's still not right, turn your device completely off and then turn it back on (you should see a black screen with the Apple logo). If
that doesn't work, then you should clear the browser data.
To clear your browser data, first close this site on your browser. Then follow the directions for your browser to clear the cache and website data.
If you're using Safari, you can do this by opening Settings, scroll down to find Safari, then
you can either click on "Clear History and Website Data", or you can clear the data for our site only by scrolling down to "Advanced" > Website Data > find
blastofftolearning.com > swipe left to get the "Delete" button. Finally, reopen this site and then open the webapp.
