PRIDE Reading Program

The PRIDE Reading Program uses a structured literacy, Orton-Gillingham based curriculum aligned with the Science of Reading to teach reading, spelling, comprehension, and writing. It offers engaging, multisensory, step-by-step instruction for children to learn every phoneme in the English language through one-on-one lessons with PRIDE Reading Specialists. The program was developed specifically to teach struggling and non-readers, and it specifically addresses dyslexia and the needs of students struggling with reading and writing comprehension.

• Ages: 5–18 years old

Each PRIDE Reading Specialist is trained in the PRIDE Orton-Gillingham multisensory teaching method and completes an extensive screening and training process, including complete background checks. The curriculum is written specifically for children who struggle with dysgraphia, auditory processing disorder, childhood apraxia of speech, or dyslexia, and it is described as especially successful for children with dyslexia, auditory and visual processing disorder, speech deficits, and other learning differences. The program offers tailored curriculum solutions for both school districts and homeschoolers, including an easy-to-use structured literacy curriculum, a digital online teacher’s manual, a free PRIDE Placement Assessment, and a free Orton-Gillingham Introductory Course. The mission statement of the PRIDE Reading Program is “Transforming Lives Through Literacy,” and the leadership includes Karina Richland of the PRIDE Reading Program. The program is an approved option for families using ClassWallet and Step Up for Students payments for scholarship and grant funds. Parents, education reviewers, and specialists, including PRIDE parents, Cathy Duffy of CathyDuffyReviews.com, Dr. Abbe Barron, and homeschooling parents and educators, have provided testimonials describing their experiences with the PRIDE Reading Program and its Reading Specialists.
