Foundations for Lifelong Literacy
K–12 Literacy Intervention
Why Choose Direct Instruction for Literacy?
Decades of literacy research consistently shows that complex learning cannot take place without strong foundational skills. The systematic, explicit nature of the DI methodology supports all struggling readers in achieving higher levels of literacy. With an emphasis on phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, comprehension, and fluency, DI literacy programs ensure that all students, including multilingual learners, master the tools needed to read and write.
