As an Orton-Gillingham–trained educator, I know how critical it is for students with dyslexia to receive instruction that is explicit, cumulative, and systematic. Structured literacy provides that — and while it supports all developing readers, it is absolutely essential for children with dyslexia. ROYO was built with these principles at its core.
As an Orton-Gillingham–trained educator, I know how critical it is for students with dyslexia to receive instruction that is explicit, cumulative, and systematic. Structured literacy provides that — and while it supports all developing readers, it is absolutely essential for children with dyslexia. ROYO was built with these principles at its core. It’s not just another reading app — it’s a tool aligned with how the brain learns to read, offering practice and instruction tips (more on that later) that truly work for students who need it most.
An Adaptable Scope and Sequence — with Built-In Review
What truly sets ROYO apart is its adaptable scope and sequence. Unlike most programs that follow a fixed order, ROYO allows teachers to reorder or remove skills to match their instructional sequence. Whether you’re following a traditional phonics progression or an intervention-based path, ROYO aligns to your teaching — not the other way around.
At the same time, ROYO ensures that instruction is not just flexible — but cumulative. Previously taught skills are intentionally woven into books, so students continue to practice and reinforce what they’ve already learned. This built-in review is essential for developing mastery and automaticity, especially for students with dyslexia who benefit from multiple exposures over time.
Before ROYO, I used to write my own decodable books to make sure students were getting the right mix of the current phonic skill, previous concepts, and sight words. It took me 20 to 45 minutes to write just one passage. Now, ROYO does it in 30 seconds — giving me a personalized, aligned, and thoughtfully constructed book for every learner.
Multisensory Engagement and Immediate Feedback
ROYO also supports multisensory learning, a cornerstone of effective dyslexia instruction. When students read aloud using ROYO’s voice recognition feature, they engage multiple pathways — visual (seeing the word), auditory (hearing themselves and the feedback), and verbal (speaking the word). This oral reading experience is active, and it comes with immediate feedback, allowing students to self-correct and strengthen their decoding in real time. It’s not just screen time — it’s purposeful, structured literacy practice.
More Than Just Books: Structured Literacy Tools at Home
One of the most powerful — but often overlooked — features of ROYO is what’s available on the Parent Dashboard. Behind the scenes, there are hundreds of activities and tips designed to help parents (and teachers) support their children beyond the app. These include:
These resources are grounded in structured literacy and reflect the same methods used in evidence-based intervention. They help extend learning beyond the decodable text and into daily routines.
ROYO is more than just a digital reading app — it’s a thoughtfully designed, research-aligned support system built for the way dyslexic students learn best. ROYO doesn’t just help students practice reading — it helps them become readers.
