Tutoring

Using Structured Literacy and the Orton-Gillingham approach, I provide intervention for struggling readers with Dyslexia. My training in multi-sensory explicit, systematic programs recommended for reading, comprehension, and written language skills include Orton-Gillingham and LETRS. These methods of literacy instruction are evidence-based and shown to be effective for struggling readers with and without Dyslexia. With my knowledge of dyslexia and related issues, I am able to individualize treatment plans for each student and provide progress monitoring.

Orton-Gillingham

Orton-Gillingham is not a program, but an approach and has been around for many years. It is shown to improve outcomes with dyslexic and struggling readers and help them a reach their literacy goals. The key principles of this approach are:

Multi-sensory

Diagnostic & Prescriptive

Emotionally Sound

Cognitive

Language Based

Structured, Sequential, Cumulative

Explicit and Direct

Science of Reading

The Science of Reading is a body of scientific research as it relates to how we learn to read and issues that are related to reading and writing. Scientific research and evidence-based instruction, which includes structured literacy, is significant in improving learning outcomes. Studies have allowed researchers to discover why some struggle learning to read and others don’t.
