Our Approach

The Orton-Gillingham methodology is an approach that teaches students to read, write and spell in a systematic, sequential and multi-sensory way.

 

• Systematic means that the organization of material follows the logical order of the language.

• Sequential means instruction begins with simple concepts and progresses to more difficult concepts.

• Multi-sensory means lessons access the kinesthetic, visual and auditory learning pathways to capitalize on your child’s strengths and remediate their deficits.

 

Structured Literacy incorporates five key components: phonological awareness, phonics (Orton-Gillingham), fluency, vocabulary and comprehension. Along with the Orton-Gillingham methodology, we incorporate these key components into every lesson to ensure your student is receiving a balanced literacy approach.

 

Lessons are designed to pique interest and fully engage students in the learning process.
