Learning with Dyslexia
Students with dyslexia are bright students who are capable of so many amazing things. Because their brains have been working inefficiently when it comes to reading, they need direct and specific instruction that teaches the brain to read more effectively. We can build this new, more efficient pathway with multi-sensory instruction that is systematic and success-oriented.
Finally Finding Success
Intervention with a multi-sensory structured program like Orton Gillingham is designed so that students succeed from the very beginning. Each lesson builds on the previous lesson and provides many opportunities for students to succeed. It teaches students ways to approach new or challenging words and gives them confidence and a can-do attitude. With this approach, students make steady gains in their reading and writing skills leading to better educational outcomes.
What is Orton Gillingham?
The Orton Gillingham Approach Explicitly Teaches the Connection Between Sounds and Letters
This is done in one step at a time building as the student masters each piece using multiple pathways (sight, sound, touch). Students are taught the whys and hows of reading and spelling rules so that they can approach new words with critical thinking and confidence. Each lesson is highly individualized based on student’s strengths and weaknesses as well as their level of mastery of each concept.

Dyslexia knows no age.
