Our Approach

Understanding
Orton-Gillingham

The Orton-Gillingham approach is a research-backed, multisensory method designed to improve reading, writing, and comprehension skills in children.

It has been proven especially effective for children with dyslexia and other learning difficulties. This approach emphasizes the connection between letters and sounds, combining visual, auditory, and tactile learning to enhance language processing and understanding.

The Pillars Of Our Approach

  • Personalized Learning

    The approach is tailored to each child's unique needs, ensuring that your child receives the support and attention they deserve.

  • Multi-sensory

    By engaging multiple senses, the Orton-Gillingham method helps children absorb and retain information more effectively, leading to a stronger foundation in literacy skills.

  • Basic to Complex

    The approach is organized and systematic, allowing children to build on their knowledge gradually and develop a solid understanding of language concepts.

  • Flexible and Adaptive

    The method adapts to each child's progress, reinforcing their strengths and addressing any areas that need improvement.
