During this class, children will engage in multisensory lessons based on the Orton Gillingham approach to reading and spelling. As they progress through the class, they will learn to read and spell irregular words using kinesthetic approaches. Your child will receive explicit and systematic phonics instruction based on the Orton-Gillingham method, which is particularly beneficial for students who need to review phonics skills, require additional practice, have learning disabilities, or are diagnosed with dyslexia. Benefits of the Orton-Gillingham Method: -Structured and sequential approach to phonics instruction -Multisensory activities to engage different learning styles -Emphasis on building a strong foundation in phonics skills -Proven effective for students with learning disabilities and dyslexia
