The Power of the Orton-Gillingham Approach
Is your child getting frustrated with reading or spelling?
It's not uncommon for children to face challenges as they learn to read—but persistent difficulties with decoding, spelling, fluency, or comprehension can be signs that your child needs more structured support. You may have noticed your child avoiding reading, guessing at words, mixing up sounds, or falling behind their peers. These struggles can affect not only academic success, but also confidence and motivation.
As a parent, it’s natural to want answers and effective solutions. Seeking out a tutor trained in research-based methods like Orton-Gillingham can make a significant difference. With the right instruction, your child can build the skills and confidence needed to become a capable, lifelong reader.
