Multisensory Reading and Spelling Help Using Orton-Gillingham Principles 4x/Week

These private lessons will use a structured literacy program based on phonological-coding research and Orton-Gillingham principles to directly and systematically teach the structure of the English language. Each session will be tailored to the individual learner's needs and interests while following a step-by-step process to teach the phonemic sounds, rules, and the six syllable types of the English language in a fun, multisensory manner. The class time will be very interactive and paced differently depending on the enrolled learner. Each session is loosely structured as follows:
*Sound drill
*Mini-lesson or review of the day's skill
*Word work practice of the specific skill
*Reading and/or writing practice 
*Game/ informal assessment/ progress monitoring 

This type of instruction has been found to aid in decoding and encoding skills for both struggling and emerging readers. These sessions can be a good fit for learners who are just beginning to read and struggling, learners in need of extra spelling help, learners already diagnosed with dyslexia, or those who have a specific reading disability and need some extra practice.
