What is Orton Gillingham?
Orton-Gillingham is a methodology to teaching reading and spelling that is explicit, multisensory and structured. The approach teaches students to “crack the code” of reading so that they can decode and become fluent and confident readers.
The Orton-Gillingham methodology is based on decades of scientific research, sometimes referred to as “the science of reading.” Because it is not a set program or curriculum, it is individualized for every student. Orton-Gillingham is widely considered the gold standard for teaching reading and spelling to those with language-based learning disabilities, including dyslexia.
Who benefits from
Orton-Gillingham tutoring?
Students struggling to learn how to read and write, including those reading below grade level.
Students with specific learning disabilities, including Dyslexia.
Emerging readers in Kindergarten and 1st Grade greatly benefit from a solid foundation in phonemic awareness, decoding and encoding skills.
MY APPROACH
Individualized Instruction
I assess every student to ensure that my instruction is building on their strengths and targeting areas of weakness.
Engaging and Concrete Practice
After new concepts are taught, there are multiple opportunities for practice through reading decodable texts and playing games to build fluency and confidence!
Frequent Assessment
I engage in frequent progress monitoring to ensure that your child is making progress toward their individual goals!
