Our Goal at OpenBook.US is  to equip students with the skills they need to reach their potential and to provide opportunities for them to experience the joy of real achievement.  The tools we use to achieve these ends are Phono-Graphix® Reading Therapy and NILD Educational Therapy.


Phono-Graphix® Reading Therapy

The Phono-Graphix® Program teaches the basic code of the English language in an amazingly simple fashion. The program is based on the latest in reading research and has proven clinical and classroom results.  This program is being implemented in every English speaking country in the world .  It has revolutionized reading instruction by teaching a simple, sound to symbol, sequential methodology for learning to read and spell English.


NILD Educational Therapy

NILD is an individualized educational therapy for students who have been diagnosed with learning disabilities.  In NILD therapy,  the student’s areas of weakness and deficits are strengthened using academic and perceptual techniques. Therapy assists in developing perceptual function and thinking skills. The goal of NILD Educational Therapy is to equip students to succeed in the classroom and in life as independent learners.  


Testing

Initial testing will identify deficit areas and provide insight into the appropriate strategy to design an individualized  learning program. Additional testing will be done at appropriate intervals to evaluate progress.

Phono-Graphix

"Our children recognize that they can do this, they can learn to read.  They are excited and enthusiastic .  They are now eager readers.  We have had great success”.

Pia King - Director of The Learning Center at Restore Orlando, Orlando,  Florida (Phono-Graphix reading method has been used  for 4 years in this inner city setting).

 

NILD

"My daughter has developed clearer thinking.  She understands questions and can write complete answers that make sense.  Before therapy, she was confused and couldn’t complete work. She is doing so much better."

"My son has improved self esteem as well as improved academics.  He can understand his teachers and follow directions.  His reading and handwriting have both dramatically improved."
