Reading Class
Overview: This is a supplementary reading support class. Phonics First Foundations for Reading and Spelling, part of the Phonics First Foundations system, was developed by RLAC as a unique approach to teaching beginning readers of any age who struggle with reading. The program, rooted in the Orton-Gillingham methodology, teaches students systematic processes for decoding (reading) and encoding (spelling). Phonics First Foundations is a multisensory, systematic, structured, sequential, phonics-based, direct-instruction teaching system.
