Sari Cohen, Level 4 IMSE Orton-Gillingham Master Instructor, flips through one: practice words and vocabulary before reading, text that matches what students have learned, then comprehension and writing.

Reading is more than letters and sounds, and Sea of Sounds Speech Therapy & Learning Center in Brooklyn, New York is showing what happens when literacy and speech-language pathology work together. Founder and Clinical Director Ms. Gigi, a speech-language pathologist, uses the OG+ curriculum as the foundation of every literacy program. Students begin with a comprehensive assessment and are grouped by instructional need, so each child receives explicit, systematic instruction at the right pace. The results: first grade sound segmentation grew from 42% to 95%, and phonological awareness grew from 45% to 96%, between October 2025 and May 2026. As Ms. Gigi shared: “Reading isn’t only a visual task. It relies on speech sound processing, language comprehension, vocabulary knowledge, morphology, and oral language skills.” Read the full story here: imse.com/about-us/testimony/…

Every time a student who thought they couldn’t read does, the story changes. IMSE’s Allison Caldwell shares how it happens: one teacher, one classroom, one student at a time, supported by coaching and systems aligned with the research. 30 years of changing the story for every reader.

Happy Halloween from IMSE! Newton couldn’t decide on just one costume, so he tried on five phonics concepts: the Cat/Kite Rule, the SFLZ Rule, Schwa, Silent Letters, and Magic-E. Our vote might go to Schwa. Nothing is more relaxed than the laziest vowel in a pair of flower sunglasses. Which one gets yours? Reply below.

Knowing a word’s definition is a start. Knowing its category, its synonyms, what it contrasts with, and how it connects to other words is how students really own it. Our free Vocabulary Chart puts all of that on one page, ready for your next new word. 🔗 imse.com/products/share/d/70…

Reading doesn’t start with print. It starts with language. Dr. Tiffany Hogan, Professor at Mass General Brigham University of Health Professions and Director of the Speech and Language (SAiL) Literacy Lab, explains how the words, sentences, and stories children hear and tell set the foundation for reading comprehension. Oral language and decoding work together. Students need both. imse.com/oral-language/ #OralLanguage #ScienceOfReading
