"Children do not simply outgrow reading problems."

— Reid Lyon, Ph.D.
Chief of Child Development and Behavior Branch of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development

Totem’s experienced teachers prevent reading failure by early identification of "at risk" students as well as the use of current science-based intervention strategies for struggling students.

"The evidence-based interventions now available can result in improved reading in virtually all children."

— Sally Shaywitz, MD
Professor of Pediatrics and Child Study at the Yale University School of Medicine

Totem uses Orton-Gillingham-based multisensory methods, as well as a structured curriculum that is sequential (skills are taught in the order language is developed), explicit (clear, direct, nothing left to interpretation) and aligned with the five dimensions of reading required to be an effective literacy program as put forth by the National Reading Panel: phonemic awareness, phonics, reading fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension.

"The students become a reader as well as a writer because reading and spelling are taught together therefore learning is faster and more secure."

— Arlene Sonday, M.S.
Founding Fellow and first President of the Academy of Orton-Gillingham Practitioners and Educators

Totem uses researched-based curricula that incorporate an integrated approach to literacy. Skills such as reading, writing, spelling, grammar, fluency, and comprehension are taught simultaneously to avoid gaps in a student’s learning and literacy skills.

"TOTEM is really fun and gives you a whole new way to learn how to do everything better."

— Taylor, Age 12
