About Cheryl Orlassino
Blast Off to Learning Press combines lesson-based workbooks with online games and teaching tools to create multisensory, effective reading programs for dyslexia and other learning difficulties. Our reading programs use the Orton-Gillingham approach, which studies have found to be the most effective way to teach a dyslexic student to read. We have three programs for three age groups: ages 5 to 7, 7 to 13, and 13 to adult.

These slides are for the complete I Can Fly Reading Program, they include all lessons from Books A & B.
The I Can Fly Reading Program workbooks offer lesson instruction with workbook pages based on the Orton-Gillingham approach to teach reading.
This program has a companion web app where your students can play games for each lesson for reinforcement. Metrics are gathered as they play so you can see progress. In addition, the games will give the student reward coins that they can spend in the stores. Go to ICanFlyReadingProgram dot com to try the web app for ten minutes (after which a code from the book is required). Books to accompany the lesson slides are available on Amazon.
