Course Offerings
Many programs or interventions are available to meet the unique needs of each learner. All of the interventions that are provided are scientifically based and researched. Many times students don’t make progress in a program because of a mismatch between the program and the learner, or because the intervention is not consistent enough. Dynamic Learning Solutions works diligently to match the learner with a program that will offer the best potential for success.
I hope you will consider contacting us to help you find the “right” program for your learner’s needs!

Sound Sensible: kindergarten or first grade
If you have a student entering kindergarten or first grade, this is the class for you.
Sounds Sensible is the first level of S.P.I.R.E., a highly successful, systematic, multisensory reading and language arts program that is research-based and time-tested. It works well as the first level of any core program or as supportive/supplementary instruction for beginning readers in Grades Pre-K–1. Its Orton-Gillingham philosophy also makes Sounds Sensible uniquely effective as part of an intervention, a remedial, or an inclusion reading program. Types of Activities include listening, rhyming, segmenting, understanding phoneme/grapheme relationships, and taking dictation.
Spire Levels 1 - 8
Spire is a literacy program that provides instruction in phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, spelling, and writing for students struggling in these areas in the elementary grades. Spire has 8 levels, and a placement test is administered to find the best starting level for the student. The program is multisensory and allows students multiple opportunities to practice concepts to the level of mastery. For further information, visit Educators Publishing Service at http://www.epsbooks.com/ and enter “Spire” in the search space.
Rewards Intermediate: grades 4 and 5
Teach students to use a flexible strategy for decoding long words and to increase reading fluency, particularly in content-area passages. Based on the same successful instructional model as REWARDS Secondary, REWARDS Intermediate contains 25 teacher-directed lessons that will benefit students who have mastered the basic reading skills associated with first and second grade but who are not accurate or fluent oral readers in grade-level materials.
I have seen students learn valuable skills that improve their reading and spelling abilities.
REWARDS PLUS writing component: junior high
Do you have a junior high student who needs help with literacy skills including strategies, and written language instruction? This is the class for you!
REWARDS Plus builds content-area skills by extending the use of REWARDS decoding strategies; increasing vocabulary; building fluency; and acquiring new comprehension, test taking, and writing strategies.
Other Opportunities
Specialized individualized or small group (2-3 students) instruction is provided in phonological processing, spelling, reading comprehension, writing, math, or computer training. Lindamood Bell programs such as LIPS, Visualizing/Verbalizing, Talkies, Seeing Stars, Cloud Nine are available. Other programs such as those listed above are also available through individual instruction.
