Beginning to read. Struggling with reading disorders. Gaps in knowledge.
English is a difficult language to begin with. Throw in reading disorders or spotty education and you have a recipe for a struggling reader. Fortunately for you, we have a class for that. Our Institute of Multi-Sensory Education Orton-Gillingham based reading classes don't just teach the a,b,c's we all know - they teach skills that you forgot you had to learn in the first place in a hands on, systematic, explicit approach.

What is Orton-Gillingham instruction and why do I need it?
" In the 1930’s neurologist Dr. Samuel T. Orton and educator, psychologist Anna Gillingham developed the Orton-Gillingham approach to reading instruction for students with dyslexia. This theory combines multi-sensory techniques along with the structure of the English language. Those items taught include: phonemes and morphemes, such as prefixes, suffixes, and roots. Common spelling rules are introduced as well. Multi-sensory education incorporates the three learning pathways, which are: auditory, kinesthetic, and visual. This approach is beneficial not only for students with dyslexia, but for all learners. It can be implemented in a large group setting as well as with individuals, small groups and at-risk populations. The methodology allows for implementation of Response to Intervention (RTI) at all levels while allowing for differentiation of instruction.Often Orton-Gillingham is interpreted as a methodology only meant for reading remediation; however, the multi-sensory component impacts all children. The uniqueness of this type of instruction is that it allows the educator to capitalize on an individual student’s dominant learning modality while delivering instruction that will strengthen the remaining learning pathways." - Institute for Multi-Sensory Education
Very often, parents and educators think that reading is simply "a is for apple, b is for banana, now put them togehter and sound it out". As adults, it is so easy to forget when we leaned to read, how we actually learned to read, and what it took for us to become fluent readers unless we were one of the many, many people struggling to do something that is not native to our being. With Orton-Gillingham instruction for both home and traditional-schoolers, we bring an unnatural construct into the natural world in explicit, discreet instruction that makes reading as natural as possible to all readers, not just those with natural talent.
