Discover Intensive Phonics deals exclusively with basic reading/word attack skills. The program has a multi-sensory approach, which means that it will appeal to a student’s individual learning style – visual, auditory, tactile, or kinesthetic. The program is based on Orton-Gillingham principles of instruction.
Discover Intensive Phonics courseware was developed specifically for students aged 4-9 who exhibit below-average reading skills.
Instruction combines a mixture of daily multi-sensory direct instruction and independent work on the Discover Intensive Phonics computer software.
Reading Horizons offers teacher in-service in both the direct instruction approach and the integration of the software.
