Dyslexia Reading Programs

The Laurel School of Princeton offers a range of innovative reading programs for dyslexic students. Our expert teachers use a small group setting to allow each student to receive individualized attention.

The Orton-Gillingham and Wilson Reading programs are designed to be diagnostic, prescriptive, and tailored to each student’s needs.

These methods focus on decoding and comprehension to help the students’ ability to process the written word. With the use of a multi-sensory approach, including integrative technology, students can truly engage with language. This allows them to overcome the challenges they face in reading and writing.  Regular assessments, both standardized and as a natural part of the curriculum, are used to determine student progress and tailor lessons to their specific needs.

We Offer a Full Scope of Programs

In addition to the Orton-Gillingham and Wilson curriculum, other reading programs are used to engage students. The range of available learning modalities allows the curriculum to be flexible and completely adaptable to the needs of each student. Programs include:

• Wilson Reading Language® program
• Developing Metacognitive Skills (Neuhaus) is designed for students in grades 3 through 12 and used by teachers in all content areas to help improve reading comprehension and vocabulary.
• Language Circle®/Project Read® Framing your Thoughts uses the study of sentence structure to help improve decoding and reading comprehension.
• Lindamood-Bell®: Visualizing and Verbalizing® helps improve reading by developing the cognitive function of concept imagery.
