In Singapore, Chinese language learning at the secondary school level (age 13–17) focuses on increasing the proficiency of students in their reading and writing abilities. Given the variety of text types as compared to what they have been exposed to at primary school level (age 7–12), a student who has a language learning difficulty, such as dyslexia, would find learning Chinese in school an increasingly difficult task. Our Chinese Secondary Programme at Dyslexia Association of Singapore adopted an Orton–Gillingham approach to help learners bridge the learning gap to access the mainstream curriculum. We expanded into the Secondary 3 trial Programme in 2021 for students aged 15 with some adjustments to the teaching materials and literacy tests. The progress of 12 students were tracked for a year using measures such as literacy ability tests, school results, parent and student surveys as well as teacher's observation. Results showed that students have improved in their overall language skills and our Educational Therapist played an important role in motivating the students to learn.
