It’s Launch Day! Introducing Our New IMSE Impact Structured Literacy Programs. Based on the latest Science of Reading research, IMSE Impact Professional Development and Classroom Programs build upon IMSE’s 25+ year track record of success.

Students fell behind in reading this past year, and schools are looking to make up the difference. But, they can also use it as an opportunity to reimagine the way they teach reading—specifically, through structured literacy.

Structured Literacy is an approach that provides a framework to include both the principles (how we should teach) and the elements (what we should teach).

The widespread adoption of Structured Literacy can ensure that students are equally exposed to important foundational literacy skills in a sequential, systematic, and cumulative way.

In the 1980s and 1990s, there existed a debate revolving around the question: What is the best approach to teaching reading?

Structured Literacy™ is a term created by the International Dyslexia Association in 2016 to help unify the names of the researched approaches to reading, including Orton-Gillingham, phonics-based reading instruction, systematic reading instruction and synthetic phonics.
