PRIDE Reading Program Orton-Gillingham Method of Reading Instruction
In the PRIDE Reading Program, the phonemes are introduced in a systematic, sequential and cumulative process. Using repetition and the sequential building blocks of our language, phonemes are taught one at a time. By presenting one skill at a time and practicing it until the student can apply it with automaticity and fluency, students have no reading gaps in their word-decoding skills.
Every lesson the student learns is in a structured and orderly fashion. The student is taught a skill and doesn’t progress to the next skill until the current lesson is mastered. As students learn new material, they continue to review old material until it is stored into the student’s long-term memory.
While learning these skills, students focus on phonemic awareness. There are 181 phonemes or rules in Orton-Gillingham for students to learn. Advanced students will study the rules of English language, syllable patterns, and how to use roots, prefixes, and suffixes to study words. By teaching how to combine the individual letters or sounds and put them together to form words and how to break longer words into smaller pieces, both synthetic and analytic phonics are taught throughout the entire PRIDE Reading program.
