Let's Fill in the Missing Blanks: A Multi-Sensory Reading, Spelling, and Writing Class

Join this engaging, interactive, multi-sensory weekly class that uses the proven Orton-Gillingham method to teach and remediate reading, spelling, and writing skills. Designed to build confidence and foster success, this class equips students to decode (read) and encode (spell) words by mastering essential spelling rules.

Through a structured approach, students will learn to see, hear, and touch their way to improved literacy skills. With the use of flashcards, choral reading, writing practice, and sentence construction, your child will not only learn the sounds but remember how and when to use them.

What to Expect Each Week

◾  Multi-Sensory Learning: Students engage visually, audibly, and kinesthetically to reinforce concepts.
◾  Interactive Practice: Flashcards, choral reading, and sentence writing build a strong foundation in phonics and spelling rules.
◾  Positive Reinforcement: Mistakes are corrected with encouragement and support—no red X’s here! Instead, students rewrite words to reinforce correct spelling, boosting their confidence.
