Literacy Infrastructure for
Jewish Day Schools
Strengthening Reading Systems Without Expanding Your Schedule
Jewish day schools operate inside a unique instructional reality.
Dual curriculum compresses English instructional time.
Parent expectations are high.
Reading referrals often rise by Grade 3–4.
Teachers work hard, yet literacy alignment across grades is not always visible.
Literacy Decoded was built inside Jewish day schools to address exactly this environment.
Not through more programs.
Through stronger literacy infrastructure.
Implemented in Jewish Day Schools across North America
The Pattern Many Jewish Day Schools Are Experiencing
Across Jewish day schools, similar trends appear:
-
Strong students struggling with automatic decoding
-
Rising reading referrals by third or fourth grade
-
Intervention services expanding without reducing core gaps

Trying a New Strategy
Moving On
That's not a personal failure. It's a training gap!
You'll stop asking yourself...
"What worksheet should I try next?"
You'll start asking...
"What does this error tell me?"
The shift from guessing to interpreting, is what makes you think like a reading specialist.
There's a Moment When Reading Instruction Finally Clicks!
That's the Foundation of Orton Gillingham Instruction

Literacy Decoded is Not Another Program to Follow
It's a structured literacy system grounded in Orton-Gillingham that shows how reading skills actually connect.
Inside Literacy Decoded, You Learn:
How phonemic awareness, phonics, decoding, spelling and fluency build
Why certain errors repeat
How to prevent guessing
How to adjust instruction without starting over
When you teach with Orton Gillingham clarity, instruction becomes calmer and more intentional.
Currently, you are:
Using multiple worksheets and disconnected programs
Using multiple worksheets and disconnected programs
Feeling frustrated and exhausted
Struggling to measure progress
Seeing limited progress for dyslexia or Tier 2/3 learners
After Literacy Decoded, Teachers Report:
Clear, step-by-step plan for each day
Much stronger decoding and spelling foundations
Less second guessing
Less planning time
Targeted, multisensory activities for every struggling reader

Sample Lesson - “Y” as a Vowel
Learn how “Y” functions as a consonant and a vowel and how
misunderstanding it leads to decoding breakdowns.

Systematic & Sequential
Skills are introduced in a thoughtful order, moving from simple to complex:
sounds → letters → words → sentences → connected text.
Each step builds on what students already know.

Systematic & Sequential
New learning never replaces old learning. Previously taught skills are revisited and practiced regularly so students retain what they’ve learned and gain confidence.
