A Proven Path to Reading Success
The Orton-Gillingham Approach is a time-tested, research-based method designed specifically to help students with dyslexia and other language-based learning differences. It is not a one-size-fits-all program — it is individualized, diagnostic, and prescriptive, meaning instruction is tailored to each learner’s needs.
Here’s what makes it so effective:
- Intensive – Lessons are delivered frequently and for a sustained period of time to create lasting change.
- Explicit – Every concept is taught clearly and directly. There is no guesswork — students are shown exactly what to do and why.
- Systematic & Cumulative – Skills are introduced in a logical order, from simple to complex, with each new lesson building on the last. Frequent review ensures mastery and long-term retention.
- Structured – Instruction follows a step-by-step sequence, giving students the support and consistency they need to succeed.
When implemented with care and consistency, the Orton-Gillingham Approach doesn’t just teach reading — it transforms confidence, builds independence, and opens doors to lifelong learning.
