Re: Reading advice ortan and edmark

[Guest guest]

We had ortan in the IEP for Maddy and she could not do it as she has severe

motor planning issues, including apraxia.   Ortan is multi sensory, so the child

has to be able to trace the letters and pronounce the letter sounds etc. or they

will not move them along.  She is reading above grade level, but Ortan actually

held her back as they could not makr the simple sounds as mastered until she

could do the motor planning portions.  We asked for Ortan as here is a history

of dyslexia on my hubby's side.  Ortan is good for kids with dyslexia.

 

 

We use Edmark Reading on the computer, and she flew through 1 and 2 in about 2

weeks.
