How We Help with Reading and Reading Comprehension
We work to prepare students with the tools, and skills needed to form a solid academic foundation.
Students are taught to apply learned reading strategies in real world situations.
As their reading fluency and reading comprehension improve, they aspire to reach new goals, and strive to excel where they once struggled.
Our reading program utilizes the Orton-Gillingham approach.
Orton-Gillingham is a multi-sensory approach using the three pathways by which we learn - visual, auditory and kinesthetic. The Orton-Gillingham approach was developed in the early 20th century by Samuel Torrey Orton (1879–1948), a neuropsychiatrist and pathologist at Columbia University and Anna Gillingham (1878–1963), an educator and psychologist also at Columbia University and has been in use since the 1930's.
Our instruction sessions are one-on-one, hands-on and interactive. Teachers and students work together using visual, auditory and kinesthetic exercises which teach the fundamentals of reading in a way that enhances memory storage and retrieval.
