Literacy Specialists & Learning Resources

Literacy Specialists

At Denver Academy, our Literacy Specialists instruct students that need reading and writing assistance beyond classroom instruction. Referrals are made by classroom teachers after assessments have been given. We employ a multi-sensory strategy for reading instruction, using Visualizing and Verbalizing and the Orton-Gillingham approach. All of our specialists use the Orton-Gillingham approach, the most highly recommended method to help struggling readers. 

We ALL Learn Differently

We've provided a variety of sites below dedicated to finding out more about how students learn and spreading awareness about specific learning differences. Please note that the inclusion of these links does not necessarily indicate the endorsement of such sites or organizations by Denver Academy.
