LETTERS© Module 1 Curriculum
LETTERS© is an Orton-Gillingham based literacy program designed for use at home or in the classroom. LETTERS© does not require prep or training before the educator or parent can begin using it with their student.
The motivation for developing LETTERS© is to meet the low literacy needs for struggling and reluctant learners ages 9-18. Reluctant older students would also benefit from using this textbook to mentor younger learners as this textbook is written in the low-literacy/high-interest format.
LETTERS© literacy program in its entirety is suitable for Kindergarten through grade 2.
LETTERS© curriculum and resources have been designed to meet or exceed the prescribed learning outcomes as developed by the Ministry of Education in BC.
Each textbook covers the Six Essential Language Arts: listening, speaking, reading, writing, viewing, and visually representing.
The lessons have been designed to build confidence and self-esteem through relevant facts and information which can be used in conversations with peers and adults. Learners discover the core concepts of the English language through a story-like format in LETTERS© textbooks.
Each textbook links with the lesson plan outlined in LETTERS© Symbols to Sounds Educator’s Guide. All of LETTERS© textbooks and resources are intended to be used in a one-to-one or classroom teaching environment.

LETTERS© Puzzle Boards are an excellent hands-on resource for learners of any age.
Use LETTERS© Puzzle Boards to:
- create Pangrams; inspire learners to form words using all the letters on the board. Give instructions to use each letter only once or to form a meaningful sentence or a nonsensical sentence.
- play Letter Square; set out letters and have learners find all the words which can be formed using the letters provided. Learners would then print the words in a list. For additional enrichment have the learners put the words into alphabetical order or word categories.
These hands-on activities enhance cognitive skills such as logic and reasoning while reinforcing vocabulary and printing skills.

-create Pangrams; use LETTERS© Magnetic Alphabet in addition to a dry-erase marker to form words using as many magnetic letters as possible and filling in the missing letters with the dry-erase marker.
-create Alphabetical Order Fun with Code messages. Develop a code, print the code on the Dry-Erase Magnet Board using a dry-erase marker, and have your students solve the code. They could use a combination of LETTERS© magnetic letters and a dry-erase marker.
-teach placement of vowels, vowel or consonant teams, rhyme families, suffixes and prefixes, and much, much more!
These hands-on activities reinforcing vocabulary and printing skills while learners practice concepts they have discovered in their literacy lessons.
