Designed & Tested by Educators
This is a reading program specifically designed for dyslexia. It was created, changed, and tweaked with the help of many students and educators. We saw what worked and what didn't and created a kid-friendly program that would be effective and enjoyable. This is also very helpful for children with communicative issues, auditory processing disorder, as well as auditory discrimination problems.

Evidence Based
This program is based on the Orton-Gillingham (OG) approach, which is in alignment with the science of reading. The OG approach has had many studies and research reviews which provide support for its effectiveness. In addition, studies related to the science of reading, by numerous contributors, have added a better understanding of how children learn to read, resulting in more effective instructional practices. Blast Off to Reading incorporates the recommendations (as done in the OG approach) for an effective reading program backed by research.

Quick & Effective
Studies show that the faster an intensive reading program is implemented, the more effective it is. Therefore, the goal of this program is to get your student reading as quickly as possible. If done daily, it could be completed by most students within three months.
