Build the Essential Reading, Spelling and Handwriting Skills of Beginning and Striving Readers

Preventing Academic Failure (PAF) applies the Orton-Gillingham approach to teaching reading, handwriting, and spelling. Using multisensory techniques, this research-based program serves as an effective beginning reading program for all children in the primary grades, or as a program for striving readers and students with learning disabilities. The PAF Handwriting Program works as a key component of the reading program and can also be used as a stand-alone classroom handwriting program.
