The Walker School's innovative New Avenues Dyslexia Program serves children in grades 1-5 with dyslexia who have above-average academic aptitude and a strong desire to fulfill their abundant potential. Students in New Avenues are excited to learn and receive daily small-group instruction utilizing the Orton-Gillingham approach. This evidence-based structured literacy approach uses explicit, multisensory and systemic instruction. New Avenues students are part of the larger Walker School community and participate with their grade-level peers in co-curricular activities including art, science, music, technology, PE, recess and lunch. A unique “school within a school” model promotes positive social interactions and provides all students with a broad social base.
