Decoded, A Structured Literacy Curriculum
A Coherent, Dyslexia-Informed Literacy System for Schools
Decoded™ is a three-level, structured literacy curriculum designed to close foundational reading gaps through explicit, systematic, and multisensory instruction. Built on Orton-Gillingham principles and aligned to the Science of Reading, Decoded integrates decoding, spelling, morphology, and writing into one coherent system.
Program Structure
Each lesson follows a predictable instructional routine, reducing cognitive load for both teachers and students.

Adaptive Implementation (Built for MTSS)
Decoded is designed to flex without losing fidelity.
Tier 1
-
Small-group reinforcement
-
Core-aligned support for foundational skills
-
Writing connected to decoding patterns
Tier 2
-
Targeted intervention groups
-
Skill-specific lesson selection
-
Progress monitoring tied directly to instruction
Tier 3
-
Intensive, cumulative instruction
-
Slower pacing with increased repetition
-
Multisensory scaffolds for dyslexic learners

Why DECODED is for YOU...
The Problem Schools Are Facing
Many schools are navigating:
-
Inconsistent phonics and intervention approaches across grades
-
Students who “pass” but lack true decoding and spelling mastery
-
MTSS systems where instruction and data are misaligned
-
Teacher overload from layered programs that don’t connect
-
Slow Academic Growth in Literacy
Decoded was built to solve this exact problem by providing one coherent, cumulative system that works across tiers and settings.
The Decoded Solution
Decoded is:
-
Explicit – Skills are directly taught, never assumed
-
Systematic – Instruction follows a planned, cumulative sequence
-
Multisensory – Visual, auditory, and kinesthetic pathways are intentionally used
-
Language-Rich – Reading, spelling, morphology, and writing reinforce one another
Instead of isolated skill work, students learn how language works as a system.
Alignment & Credibility
Decoded aligns with:
-
Science of Reading research
-
Orton-Gillingham instructional principles
-
Dyslexia-informed best practices
-
MTSS frameworks
-
State literacy standards (alignment language available)
The curriculum emphasizes explicit instruction, cumulative review, and mastery before advancement.
