The program in this book utilizes semantic reasoning strengths, and a combination of whole-to-part processing and gross motor kinesthetic therapies to compensate for deficits in working memory, expressive language mechanisms, and executive function. Multiplication concepts and facts are linked to the student’s existing knowledge base across a broad spectrum of modalities.

"Problem Categorization A great lesson that Chris has posted on YouTube is his approach to problem categorization. A common challenge that dyslexic students face is getting lost in the myriad of different problems that are presented at one time. Like teaching students to categorize written essay prompts, it can be very helpful to teach students to categorize math problems."

Decoding Drake's Dream Fall 2015
The micro-uniting of language permeates not just English classes, but every aspect of the [Landmark] program — every class at Landmark is, to some extent, a language class. Chris Woodin's pulley graphs and floor clocks are as much about language as about math since they get students to understand that problems must be sequenced in time in order to be solved — and sequencing, with its semantic emphasis on past, present, and future, is fundamentally the domain of language.
