Rolph Literacy Academy

• Rolph Literacy Academy (RLA) is a unique school for children ages 5-10 with dyslexia or other reading challenges, offering more than just support in reading, writing, and spelling.
• Students enjoy a full curriculum with multisensory teaching tailored to dyslexic learners, emphasizing STEM and the arts.
• At RLA, students also learn through the Alphabetic Phonics program-a proven, research-based method for teaching reading to children with dyslexia.
• With a small, one-to-four teacher-to-student ratio in language arts, RLA classrooms are unlike traditional ones; students engage in hands-on, creative activities designed for unique learning styles.
• This approach not only builds skills but also helps children discover their strengths, or as we call them, their "superpowers".
• Children who may struggle with reading confidence often thrive at RLA. As one of our student's mothers shared, her son's excitement was evident from his first day at school.

Rolph Literacy Academy (RLA) is a private, full-day school for children ages 5-10 with dyslexia or other reading challenges. At RLA, we use the Alphabetic Phonics (AP) program, a research-backed, proven approach that builds essential reading, writing, and spelling skills.

Opened in 2014, RLA aims to redefine literacy, including not just language but also the use of numbers, computers, and other tools for understanding and communication. Our students receive a comprehensive education, learning not only reading and writing but also math, science, social studies, physical education, music, drama, and art.

Our Approach: RLA specializes in teaching neurodiverse students according to how their brains work best. The Alphabetic Phonics program, rooted in the Orton-Gillingham approach, uses a multisensory method that engages visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning. With small classes (four students per teacher), we provide each child with individualized attention.

As an intervention school, RLA tailors the duration of each student's enrollment based on their progress. Once students gain essential literacy skills, they are ready to transition to a traditional school setting.

Objectives of Rolph Literacy Academy:

• Create an ideal educational environment for young children with dyslexia that includes balanced remediation and a rich curriculum.
• Identify and nurture each child's strengths and talents while focusing on reading and literacy.
• Use hands-on, experiential learning to improve literacy while expanding skills in math, science, the arts, social studies, and leadership.
• Provide a specialized educational choice for students and families.
• Maintain a state-of-the-art training facility for teachers in literacy remediation. Develop a "state-of-the-science" literacy program in Wichita, Kansas, that raises awareness and provides education about dyslexia, with our mission: "All Kids Reading - All Kids Succeeding".
• Successfully transition students who have received early intervention back into parochial, public, or private schools.
