Esperanza (Spanish Dyslexia Curriculum)
Esperanza is the only Spanish Orton-Gillingham program in the world. The Esperanza program is a Spanish multi-sensory structured language approach for reading, writing, and spelling. The goal of the Esperanza program is to provide a multi-sensory, sequential, systematic approach to achieve Spanish literacy.
The Esperanza program has an early childhood program for Preschool and Kindergarten called "Lenguaje y Lectura." This program focuses on early literacy skills. Its components include phonological awareness, the alphabetic principle, phonics, early writing skills, oral language, and comprehension.
The next level of the Esperanza program is designed for emergent readers in first and second grade. The goal of this level is to systematically and cumulatively develop a strong knowledge of the structure of the Spanish language so that the student can read, write, and spell in their primary language.
