Our Orton-Gillingham tutors use a highly successful instructional approach geared towards individuals who have difficulty with reading, spelling, writing, or any combination of the three. The solution is to focus on students’ individual needs and incorporate an orton gillingham approach in order to improve literacy skills.

Our reading specialists, work in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and Long Island (Nassau & Suffolk), and these professionals travel to your home. They provide assessment and testing, and we work with other professionals, e.g. psychologists, speech language therapists, and learning specialists.

A typical Orton-Gillingham lesson incorporates all learning pathways by creating a multisensory learning environment. Through modeling to your child how to best utilize their sight, hearing, touch, and awareness of motion to assist them in the reading process, they can learn to become more successful readers.

Our lessons are both diagnostic and prescriptive. Our instructors monitor the verbal, non-verbal, and written responses within a given session to assess both areas of concern and progress, as well as outline what can be done in future lessons.

By stressing the alphabetic principle (or the relationship between sounds and letters), we are able to help your child to improve their literacy skills step-by-step. Both you and your child will understand what is being learned, why it is important, and how to apply what has been learned to everyday literacy tasks. Our goal is to help your child develop into a confident, independent reader.
