Orton-Gillingham - English

The Orton-Gillingham evidence-based program is a gold standard for helping individuals who struggle with language. It works wonders and is the most promising route!

This method was designed for learning difficulties based on language, such as dyslexia, though it is helpful for anyone having difficulty learning to read and write.

We distinguish ourselves by following the guiding principles of the Orton-Gillingham Approach.

• Personalized Learning 
• Multisensory Approach 
• Diagnostic and Prescriptive 
• Direct and Explicit
• Systematic, Structured, and Sequential 
• Cognitively and Emotionally Sound

The cumulative research from the last few decades indicates that whole-language strategies do not build strong readers who can decode complex texts. The “Science of Reading” is the result of this extensive research. It is becoming increasingly clear that teaching reading is a science, not an art. Students need explicit, systematic language instruction to “crack the code” and make sense of written language.

Reading science empowers students by teaching them how to decode words rather than using pictures, sentence structure, or context to guess them. It also teaches comprehension not through isolated skill practice, but through interacting with text and being metacognitive about one’s reading process. This means students are encouraged to think about what and how they think while they read.
