Structured Literacy is a research-based approach that teaches reading and spelling through explicit, systematic instruction in the structure of language—phonology, sound-symbol association, syllables, morphology, syntax, and semantics. It also values etymology, showing how a word’s origin and history explain its spelling and meaning. This deeper linguistic insight empowers tutors to teach with clarity and purpose.
