Orton-Gillingham Reading and Writing Tutoring $115.00/hourOrton-Gillingham tutoring is an individualized, multi-sensory approach to teaching reading designed for dyslexic learners. This approach uses structured literacy to teach your child by first mastering the smallest sounds and then introducing new, more complex sounds. During their first two sessions, your child will take a pre-assessment to determine their current reading level and to provide the tutor with the information they need to design an individualized study plan. After that, each session will consist of a combination of hands-on, visual, and auditory activities that will give your child the tools they need to find success and enjoyment in reading. We typically suggest starting with ten sessions, although the number of sessions suggested for the best outcome will be determined based on the testing.
