Preventing Academic Failure (PAF)
A multisensory curriculum for teaching reading, spelling, and handwriting
Intervention Appropriate Grades K–6
By: Phyllis Bertin, Eileen Perlman
PAF can be used as the primary reading program in a general classroom, or Tier 1, setting to prevent reading problems from occurring. After many years of using the Orton-Gillingham approach to teaching reading in resource room settings, the authors of PAF set out to offer this same instruction for all students. An entire class benefits from the parts of the program that focus on decoding, handwriting, spelling, and fluency. A majority of students can then work on comprehension in grade level material.
In Tiers 2 and 3, PAF can be appropriate as an intervention or special education program for students who have not been successful with other reading methodologies. These students with learning differences benefit from its multisensory instruction, the controlled, decodable text of the Merrill Readers and the comprehension and vocabulary instruction that accompanies them.
