Orton–Gillingham was the first teaching approach specifically designed to help struggling readers by explicitly teaching the connections between letters and sounds. Today — decades later — many reading programs include Orton–Gillingham ideas.

The Orton-Gillingham Approach always is focused upon the learning needs of the individual student. Orton-Gillingham (OG) practitioners design lessons and materials to work with students at the level they present by pacing instruction and the introduction of new materials to their individual strengths and weaknesses.

The Orton-Gillingham Approach is a direct, explicit, multisensory, structured, sequential, diagnostic, and prescriptive way to teach literacy when reading, writing, and spelling does not come easily to individuals, such as those with dyslexia. It is a powerful tool of exceptional breadth, depth, and flexibility.

Our Summer Programs are essential for students to retain skills and knowledge acquired in the previous summer year. Students who do not engage in summer classes are at risk of lagging behind their classmates. Ensure that your child is an active learner throughout the summer to avoid summer learning loss.

Increased Confidence: Math summer classes can help boost students’ confidence in their math abilities. By receiving additional instruction and succeeding in challenging math activities, students can feel more confident in their math skills, which can translate to better performance in the classroom. On average, students lose approximately 2.6 months of learning in math over the summer.
