The Orton-Gillingham approach is a proven method for teaching reading that aligns with the "science of reading," which is a body of research showing how our brains learn to read best. It uses a hands-on, multi-sensory approach, meaning it involves sight, sound, and touch to help kids learn letters, sounds, and words.

With Orton-Gillingham, lessons are structured in a very organized way, breaking down reading into small, manageable steps. Kids work on understanding the sounds in words, connecting sounds to letters, blending sounds together, and eventually reading words and sentences. Each lesson builds on what they’ve already learned, reinforcing and practicing skills so they feel confident before moving on.
