Supplimental Books to Use with an Orton-Gillingham Reading Program
Reading Comprehension Passages for Kids Who Struggle to Read & Those with Dyslexia
For struggling readers, bridging the gap from decoding to fluency requires consistent practice. The more they engage in reading,
the greater their fluency will become.
Tailored for students aged 7 to 10, this book aligns its passages with various grade levels, from kindergarten to third grade.
This deliberate range prevents young learners, who struggle with reading and writing, from feeling overwhelmed. The pages are
thoughtfully crafted, featuring vibrant colors and uncluttered layouts to create an engaging and accessible reading experience.
Each passage is complemented by a range of activities directly related to the content. These activities encourage writing,
enhance spelling skills, and reinforce reading comprehension.
Purchase of the book includes our Explore Our World, Vol 1 app!
Orton-Gillingham Tools for Dyslexia - Letter & Number Reversals
Addressing letter and number reversals, particularly prevalent among children with dyslexia, is a key focus of this resource. To mitigate
these challenges, the book incorporates memory cues designed to establish a solid framework, aiding students in recalling the correct
orientation of the common letters and numbers that are often confused.
Beyond tackling reversals, the book includes exercises to enhance reading skills through the practice of simple sentence comprehension.
Additionally, it offers contextual word-finding exercises, further reinforcing language skills within a meaningful context.
The common reversals addressed are:
‘d’, ‘b’, ‘p’, ‘q’, ‘9’, ‘6
Purchase of the book includes our Reversal App!

Math Curriculum for Third Grade
Just the Facts! Grade 3 Math Workbook Curriculum
Third grade is the year when students with certain learning issues often start to noticeably fall behind.
Just the Facts! Workbook #3 is perfect for students who have not completely mastered addition
and subtraction, however, need to learn multiplication, division, as well as many other math related topics
that include these operations. This workbook, 8.5" x 11", has 45 lessons (247 pages) that, like our
reading programs, easily walks you through teaching your student math, it's cumulative with repetition.
It also utilizes pictures whenever possible to illustrate a concept. Each lesson is done with the student,
side-by-side, followed by 1 to 3 pages of independent work.
What makes this math curriculum different than others is that it repeats older material, so concepts are not
forgotten. It is also different in that it is designed specifically for visual learners, utilizing many visual aids.
This curriculum is in-line with common core for third grade; the grade in which teachers and parents often start
to notice their students struggle with math, especially the students who have struggled with reading and/or may have memory difficulties.
Colorful Images
Colorful images to illustrate important mathematic concepts.
Visual Cues
Whenever possible, visual cues are given to help the visual learner understand and remember the concept.
Organized
Problems are presented in an orderly manner to help eliminate confusion and promote good habits.
Difficult Math Facts Use Stories
For difficult multiplication facts, where skip counting is not easy, we use simple math stories with an image.
These stories help the student quickly recall the math fact. For example, this image shows 3 and 6 taking bus 18 to school.

Items We Recommend
Below are some recommended items that we have personally used with students.
5-Minute Story Books
When a student is learning to decode, at some point they will need to read text that they find interesting. Since fluency has not yet been achieved, they will need to read aloud with a proficient reader. We recommend our side-by-side reading method, read more about this method. Using a lengthy book is difficult, since reading aloud is time consuming, and, if you're tutoring or not able to spend a lot of time with your student, then the short stories in these books are ideal. The stories are interesting and at a level that students (ages 7 to 13) won't find insulting.
Simple Word Books
These books are written for students who are making the transition from reading out loud, with a proficient reader, to reading independently. The words are simple, however, the stories are engaging for older children. In addition, comprehension sheets are available at the author's website.
