Slant System™: Supporting Your Child’s Literacy Journey
At Slant System™, we believe every child deserves the tools to become a confident, accurate reader. Our research-aligned Orton-Gillingham approach is designed to improve reading outcomes for all learners—especially those who struggle with reading or have dyslexia.
While the focus of Slant System™ is teacher training, we offer this page to you as a service to help support your child’s journey as they work with a practitioner using the Slant System™. Read our blog and check back here for more information.
Why Slant System™ Works
Our method is rooted in the Science of Reading and uses a logical, systematic scope and sequence. We explicitly teach sound-symbol correspondence, allowing students to practice their skills using controlled decodable text. This foundation improves:
Comprehension: Ensuring students understand and retain what they read.
Confidence: Providing clear, incremental steps and positive reinforcement to empower students who have previously struggled.
How Your Child Benefits
Targeted Instruction: We break down complex literacy skills into manageable steps specifically designed to address the challenges of dyslexic and struggling readers. The Slant System structured literacy lesson is also best practice for how ALL children should learn how to read.
Multimodal Learning: Our techniques engage multiple senses, which is a proven way to enhance understanding and memory.
Customized Support: Instruction is never “one size fits all.” We adapt our routines to meet your child’s unique learning needs.
