Slant System | A Structured Literacy System for Educators

Slant System™ is a research-aligned Orton-Gillingham structured literacy system designed to improve reading outcomes—classroom by classroom, district by district.

High-Quality Training: Professional development and coaching for anyone aiming to attain expertise and certification.

Many literacy programs offer the theory but lack the tools for daily implementation. Slant System™ bridges that gap. We combine research-based multimodal instruction with:

  • Tailored Teaching Routines: Expertly designed for struggling readers.
  • Individual and group Training: 1:1 coaching and a collaborative teacher community.
  • Ready-to-Use Instructional Materials: A comprehensive suite of resources for immediate classroom use.
For Schools & Districts

How Slant System™ Supports Implementation at Scale

Supports school & district-wide implementation frameworks with training, coaching, and instructional materials that support consistency and fidelity across classrooms.
Professional learning pathways aligned to district goals, including structured literacy and dyslexia specialist certification.
A comprehensive suite of classroom instruction materials, including decodable text and a growing library of resources, assessments, and tools.
For Individuals

Ready to use system for individual teachers, tutors and parents.

Driven by Data,
Proven in Practice.

Slant System™ is a life-changing tool for students who struggle with reading, and it is especially critical for those with dyslexia. It has been “rigorously evaluated and is hereby acknowledged for meeting the educational impact criteria of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), warranting a Level 3 for “Promising” Evidence.  This recognition is based on its proven effectiveness in enhancing grade-level learning outcomes in a correlational study.”  – LXD Research
