We know that each child has their own unique way of learning. That’s why we’re excited to offer the Orton-Gillingham® approach, a proven and adaptable method that wonderfully supports children in developing their reading, writing, and language skills.
Whether your child is just beginning their reading journey or requires extra support to strengthen their language skills, we tailor the program to meet their unique needs.

What Makes the Orton-Gillingham® Approach Work?
The Orton-Gillingham® approach goes beyond traditional teaching methods by focusing on the specific needs of each student.
At the core of the program is a warm focus on language-based learning, where students explore how language works and joyfully apply that understanding to reading, writing, and comprehension. Through multisensory learning, students engage all their senses, hearing, seeing, and doing, making it more enjoyable and easier to grasp each new concept and remember what they’ve learned.
The approach is also structured, sequential, and cumulative, beginning with basic sounds and progressing through more complex language elements, such as syllables, digraphs, and word roots.
This step-by-step method confirms that students build a strong foundation for recognizing and using language.
A Structured, Multisensory Reading Approach
Orton-Gillingham® instruction is designed to help students engage with language through multiple pathways. Instead of relying on one teaching style, students hear, see, say, and do as they learn.
This makes the approach especially helpful for students who need explicit, repeated, and carefully sequenced reading and language support.
