Our Reading Tutoring Program
How We Get Results
The Orton-Gillingham approach is the gold standard remedial intervention for students with dyslexia and other learning differences. The Orton-Gillingham approach was specifically designed to meet the unique learning needs of those struggling with reading, writing, and spelling. If you're looking for a proven literacy intervention program, look no further than Orton-Gillingham tutoring.
With over 70 years of research and practice behind it, the Orton-Gillingham approach understands how children learn to read, why they face difficulties, and which instructional practices are the most effective at remedying these difficulties. By choosing a reading tutoring program that's grounded in the latest research, you can be confident that your child will make strides in their reading, writing and spelling.
Reading Simplified
At Wiley Reading Academy, we strive to make reading, writing, and spelling easier for all of our students. Our Orton-Gillingham reading tutors break down the foundational literacy skills into smaller, more manageable components. This enables our students to master each skill with greater ease and confidence.
We follow a step-by-step approach in our tutoring lessons, introducing new skills only after students have mastered previous concepts, which helps them build upon their existing skills and ultimately achieve greater success. We present students with the consistent rules and patterns that exist with language, making reading, writing, and spelling more predictable and less daunting for our students to work through.
We Make Learning Fun!
We understand that for students, learning to read can be challenging. That's why our Orton-Gillingham tutoring lessons are designed to make the process as enjoyable and engaging as possible. Our Orton-Gillingham reading tutors design lessons that integrate interactive activities and games to keep students motivated and interested in what they are learning. We believe that when students are fully engaged in lessons, that's when they learn the most!
Our Orton-Gillingham reading tutors foster a warm and supportive environment for all students to learn and grow. We help students build their confidence and self-esteem while encouraging a lifelong passion for learning.
Our Program Focus
Individualized
Each Orton-Gillingham lesson is created to meet each student’s individual learning needs and goals. We do not believe in a one size fits all approach.
Diagnostic & Prescriptive
New students begin with a comprehensive assessment to determine abilities and areas of intervention. Progress within lessons is continuously monitored.
Multisensory Learning
Reading tutoring lessons utilize all learning pathways (visual, auditory, kinesthetic & tactile) to reinforce material resulting in greater retention and student success.
Systematic Phonics
Students learn the sound/symbol relationship between letters and speech sounds as well as other consistent conventions and patterns in language to make reading and spelling predictable and simpler.
Structured & Explicit
Each Orton-Gillingham lesson explicitly teaches a new skill, moving from foundational to more complex. Students continuously review taught material to ensure retention and mastery.
Confidence
We strive to create confident readers with a lifelong passion for learning. We celebrate each success our students make in lessons!
