“Being dyslexic can actually help in the outside world. I see something clearer than other people do because I have to simplify things to help me and that has helped others.”
-Richard Branson
Why Orton-Gillingham?
Orton-Gillingham is a style of learning that can not only help children with dyslexia but any child struggling to read, write and spell.
It is a multi-sensory phonics technique for remedial reading instruction developed in the early-20th century. Orton-Gillingham instructors use sight, hearing, touch and movement to help students connect language with letters and words.
“I have passion for teaching kids who struggle to read and write. I have been that child that didn’t understand why it came so easy to everyone else, yet, I could not even read what the teacher was writing on the board”
-Erin Hall
