A thoughtful educator often differentiates lessons to gear them to different types of thinkers in the classroom.
The goals mentioned above: reading, writing, and spelling, are tackled by using a multi-sensory approach to learning. The confidence gained by students during this program leads to success as well. The specific goals of PAF are (1) to give students the tools to read cohesively, (2) to write fluidly, and (3) to spell with ease. PAF provides a road map that is carefully planned so that the student’s abilities grow in specific (and measurable) ways. The “Prevention” part of PAF, is part of what leads to the program’s success. The above examples are slightly extreme, but you can not help but notice how the word “prevent,” strikes a chord in your mind and makes you pay attention. To prevent lung cancer, one must avoid cigarettes and being around those who smoke. To prevent forest fires, one must be very cautious while hiking in the woods. PAF stands for “ Preventing Academic Failure.” PAF is an interesting name for a program because preventing something usually has a negative connotation. PAF is an Orton-Gillingham based reading intervention for students with dyslexia, language-based learning disabilities, and reading disorders.
