Is your child struggling with reading, writing, or
spelling? Verticy Learning can help.
Verticy Learning offers the first
complete homeschool experience specifically designed to address the
needs of students with language-based learning differences (LLDs). Our
program provides for customized study of individual subjects areas to
match their skill level in each area.
 The
cornerstone of the Verticy program is the specialized Language Arts
curriculum that meets each student at their current academic level,
focuses on the fundamentals of reading and writing, and helps the
student develop into an independent reader and writer. A complete
academic experience has been created, focusing on the learning needs of
students with language-based learning differences. Verticy’s complete
curriculum encompasses Phonics/Spelling, Grammar/Composition, Math,
Science, History, Literature, Geography, Art, and Computer Skills
subjects and reflects a multi-sensory learning experience.
If your student doesn’t need a complete
curriculum solution at this time, Verticy’s specialized Phonics,
Spelling, Grammar, & Composition program is also available as a stand
alone program. These Language Arts components work well on their own, or
as a supplemental reading and writing program for children who struggle
with language-based learning differences.
Verticy Learning empowers you to be an
effective instructor with the help of our LLD Specialists. Because of
our innovative teaching techniques, your child will quickly discover a
new way of learning the foundations of reading and writing through our
specialized curriculum and computer-based learning tools. This discovery
leads to a more confident student who gains academic success through the
wonder of independent learning.
Verticy’s program is based on the expertise of two
trusted organizations: Calvert School and Jemicy School.
You can be confident that Verticy
Learning delivers an effective, comprehensive educational experience
that was created through the joint effort of two proven academic
organizations.
Calvert School has inspired homeschool
families for over 100 years by helping parents deliver an expert
education in the home. By combining Calvert’s time-tested curriculum and
innovative computer-based technology with Jemicy School’s distinguished
experience in educating children with LLDs, Verticy Learning is helping
students learn how to read, write and spell, despite their learning
differences.
What is a Language-based Learning Difference? And
how do I know if my child has an LLD?
When a child is challenged with
characteristics of an LLD, he or she may struggle in reading, writing,
or other subjects. Behaviors that may indicate a possible LLD include:
Continued difficulty with reading and spelling
Inability to quickly identify the names of letters, numbers,
shapes, and colors when exposed to them in random sequences
Poor performance on tested material that was well known right
after studying
Need for clarification immediately after receiving instructions
Difficulty organizing thoughts or ideas in writing
Students who experience these reading and
writing difficulties often have a fundamental disconnection between
letters and the sounds that each letter makes. This disconnection
disrupts the essential building blocks of language for these students.
As a result, the student’s reading and writing challenges affect every
aspect of his or her academic experience.
Features of the Verticy Learning program include:
