Impact evidence

Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.

Programs described in its return (4)
  1. $99,850 spent. Reading Clinic (Orton Gillingham) - Orton-Gillingham is a language-based, multisensory, structured, sequential, and cumulative approach to teaching reading that has been in use since 1930 and has been proven to benefit all students, especially struggling readers. Neurologically and linguistically sound, it is the most prevalent and successful model of reading intervention. According to the National Institutes of Health, 95% of children who have trouble learning to read reach grade level if they receive specialized help early on. Kindergarten to the middle of First grade is the "window of opportunity" to prevent long term reading problems. By providing OG instruction, the MRC effectively targets the gap in order to close it. MRC offers research sound, prescribed lessons based on progress monitoring. The following components are addressed during each Orton-Gillingham reading intervention session: Alphabetic Principles, Accuracy and Fluency, Vocabulary, Comprehension, Phonemic Awareness.
  2. $36,889 spent. Orton-Gillingham Teacher Certificate Program - This year long experience is key to our mission of empowering teachers to have the strategies to remediate with struggling readers. Such training parallels theory and practice through a supervised practicum experience. Upon completion, participants are awarded an Orton-Gillingham Specialist Certificate endorsed by the nationally accredited International Multisensory Structured Language Education Council (IMSLEC) and by International Dyslexia Association (IDA).
  3. $1,320 spent. Literacy Workshops - The goal of literacy workshops is to build capacity and equip educators in grades K to 3rd with the essential strategies needed to teach all students how to read and identify those who may have dyslexia or other reading difficulties through the provision of professional development. This way, we can expand our impact and continue building readers for the future. To accomplish this, we have developed and delivered a series of workshops for schools.
  4. $189,814 spent. Spanish Development Program - The Orton-Gillingham Spanish pilot program, which began in August 2024, aims to gather systematic feedback from certified Orton-Gillingham teachers regarding the quality, suitability, and effectiveness of instructional materials developed by Lectores for implementing Orton-Gillingham interventions in Spanish. The objective is to continue to refine and enhance these materials during the second phase of implementation in 2025-2026, with the goal of having them ready by August 2026.
