❓ What is the Orton-Gillingham method?
🧠 The Orton-Gillingham approach is a proven, research-based method that teaches reading, spelling, and writing in a structured, multisensory, and personalized way. Lessons use sight, sound, touch, and movement to help students understand how language works — making it especially effective for children with dyslexia or reading difficulties. all children can benefit from its clear, step-by-step instruction. It helps students build stronger reading, spelling, and writing skills — and boosts confidence for learners of every ability level.
❓ What do the tutoring sessions consist of?
📞 We begin with a free phone consultation to learn more about your child’s needs and discuss which tutoring services will be the best fit.
📝 During our first session, we complete a series of assessments to see where your student is currently performing and identify specific areas for growth.
🎯 We will have a parent meeting discussing the data and come up with a plan of study that would work best for the student. After that, tutoring sessions would start based off the plan we came up with! We will have informal and formal assessments throughout the sessions to give consistent updates on progress.
