Empowering Educators with Effective Tools
for Every Student's Success
TEMPE,
Ariz., July 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Imagine
Learning, a leader in digital-first educational solutions, proudly
announces the enhancements to the market-leading Imagine Sonday
System. This powerful, multisensory reading program, based on the
Orton-Gillingham approach, is designed to meet the diverse needs of
students in special education, struggling readers, and students
learning to read, ensuring every learner receives the support they
need to succeed.
Innovative Enhancements to Support More
Learners
The enhanced Imagine Sonday System builds on the structured,
systematic, and multisensory teaching methods already proven
effective and augments them with explicit instructional support
grounded in the science of reading. Educators can implement
comprehensive lesson plans with minimal preparation, now pairing
them with science of reading-aligned warm-ups and cool-downs. This
ensures the most effective, research-based reading instruction. The
program offers vital tools to immediately identify and support
struggling readers as early as PreK.
"The Imagine Sonday System has already empowered countless
educators to tackle reading challenges effectively, ensuring
student success," said Eric Smith,
General Manager of Imagine Learning Sonday System. "By integrating
the latest science of reading research, our updated system provides
a robust and effective solution for educators, from kindergarten
through advanced levels."
Addressing Students with Special Needs
The number of students in special education programs has
significantly increased over the past decades, highlighting the
urgent need for effective interventions aligned with the latest
science of reading research. The Imagine Sonday System offers a
comprehensive solution of Tier 1 support and Tier 2 and Tier 3
interventions, which improve reading skills and help students
transition out of special education when appropriate. Additionally,
robust data collection and progress monitoring help meet stringent
oversight and compliance requirements.
Tackling Teacher Shortages
Imagine Sonday System addresses the pressing issue of teacher
shortages, particularly in special education. The straightforward
implementation process allows both veteran educators and those with
little to no experience teaching reading to deliver high-quality
instruction, alleviating some of the staffing pressures faced by
schools. Paraprofessionals can also effectively implement the
system, broadening the range of educators who can support students.
Imagine Learning offers additional teaching support with Small
Group Targeted Instruction, ensuring effective delivery of
interventions and comprehensive support for both educators and
students.
Key Benefits of the Enhanced Imagine Sonday
System
- Ease of Use: Streamlined, six-step lesson plans ensure
that educators can quickly implement the program with minimal
training.
- Efficiency: Designed for rapid deployment; teachers are
prepared to deliver high-quality lessons after just one training
day. The intervention-focused lesson plans are pre-written, include
all materials for delivery, and are designed to be only 35 minutes
in length.

formats, this inclusive solution ensures that a wide range of
educators, from seasoned professionals to volunteers, can access
and utilize the resources effectively.
