Our Story

Built from Real Intervention Work Backed with the Science of Reading

One-on-one intervention works, but it is hard to access: limited slots, travel time, and high costs. Parents often sit in the waiting room without seeing what their child is learning. Unleash Literacy brings structured literacy home for grades 2 and up through adult learners with multisensory lessons, granular data capture, and parent dashboards that make progress, strengths, and gaps visible. Built by educators, intervention practitioners, and software engineers, the program adapts to each learner and insists on mastery before moving on.

The Orton-Gillingham Difference

Developed in the 1930s by Dr. Samuel Orton and educator Anna Gillingham, the Orton-Gillingham approach is a structured literacy method for teaching reading that is direct, explicit, and multisensory. It does not rely on memorization or guessing from context. Instead, it systematically teaches the relationships between letters and sounds, building from simple to complex in a logical progression that matches modern science-of-reading evidence.

Multisensory

Every lesson engages visual, auditory, and kinesthetic-tactile pathways simultaneously.

Systematic and Sequential

Concepts are introduced in a carefully ordered sequence, from simple to complex, with no gaps.

Direct and Explicit

Skills are taught directly — nothing is left to chance or assumed to be picked up through exposure.

Diagnostic and Prescriptive

Instruction is continuously adjusted based on frequent progress monitoring and each learner's performance data.

Cumulative

Each lesson reviews and builds on all previously learned material, reinforcing long-term retention.

Our Mission

We believe every child can learn to read; they just need the right method and enough practice. Our mission is to make structured literacy accessible, engaging, and affordable for every family, regardless of geography, income, or diagnosis.

Built by Practitioners and Technologists

Our team combines years of enterprise software experience with deep in-person teaching experience with over 100 students, including varied dyslexia severities, socioeconomic backgrounds, and English language learners. Every design decision is research-informed, field-tested, and grounded in what actually helps struggling readers progress.
