What type of student is Blast Off to Reading for?
Blast Off to Reading! is a reading program for students, ages 7 to 13, who are dyslexic or who simply struggle to read and spell. This is also very helpful for children with communicative issues, an auditory processing disorder, as well as a auditory discrimination problems.
How does this program work?
This Orton-Gillingham based reading program contains fifty lessons with five review lessons. The lessons will walk you through the process of teaching your student to read and spell. This is done systematically with short workbook exercises followed by the online games and tools. The program includes four components: 1) the online flash cards, 2) the online dictations, 3) the workbook, and 4) the online games. All you need to purchase is the book, everything else is included at no extra charge.
1) starts with a review using the online flash cards,
2) followed by reviewing the dictations (a spelling activity that you child does independently),
3) followed by the lesson & exercises from the workbook,
4) and then ending with the online or physical phonics games for reinforcement.
The workbook will tell you exactly what game to do.
Note that physical games must be purchased separately.
Blast Off to Reading comes with online flash cards, however, we offer physcial flash cards as an option to purchase. The size (2.5" x 3.5) and quality of these cards is like that of a typical poker card deck. Note that the cards are not shipped in lesson order and will have to be collated by you.

Laminated on card stock, this handy chart can be used for a quick review or to help find sounds when
spelling.
This is also printed on the back of the workbook, however, you may find it helpful to have this handy when not using the book.

Our Blast Off to Reading program has two
tools that can be used to present lessons remotely or in a class setting
(using a Smart Board or a computer screen).
The lesson slides can be used to present the lessons
using a Smart Board or screen sharing software for distance learning. It can
also be used on a laptop or tablet for one-on-one tutoring or teaching a small
group. The slides illustrate the lessons in an organized, explicit manner, encouraging student participation.
Note that each student should have their own workbook for a complete Orton-Gillingham approach. If you are using the Teacher's Manual, the workbook images
are included so that you do not need a book of your own. If you are using the lesson slides PDF, then you should have your own workbook.
The workbook, lessons and online
tools promote phonemic awareness and contain the multi-sensory activities that
are required for the Orton-Gillingham approach. Organized in a cumulative,
structured manner, with repetition built in, your students won't miss any sounds
or rules and will overcome their reading difficulties.
