Empower Spanish-Speaking and Bilingual Students with a Dyslexia Curriculum Built for Their Needs
Administer the world’s first systematic, sequential and explicit approach to teaching Spanish literacy using the Orton-Gillingham approach. Esperanza is an evidence-based curriculum designed to improve literacy skills for Spanish-speaking and bilingual students identified with dyslexia.
Do bilingual children have the same weaknesses in both languages?
Research suggests that the brain development and weaknesses of people identified with dyslexia are similar, regardless of the language they speak. However, the difficulties are not necessarily the same in each language. For example, children may make more reading errors in English than in their native language. But they may read more slowly in their first language.
