Do you ever have a feeling of helplessness while watching your child struggle with reading, the frustration in their eyes mirroring your own. They trip over simple words, their voice dropping to a whisper as they tackle homework assignments. You want to help, but traditional methods just aren't working.
There's a better way. The Orton-Gillingham approach is a game-changer for struggling readers. Unlike a one-size-fits-all solution, it's a personalized, multi-sensory approach that empowers students to grasp the building blocks of reading.
Imagine this: Your child is no longer lost in a sea of letters. They're actively engaged, making connections between sounds and symbols. The Orton-Gillingham approach utilizes techniques like:
Multimodal learning: Students use physical movements like finger tapping for spelling; they are encouraged to notice when the voice is 'turned on' or 'turned off' to practice different sounds; and they will use Simultaneous Oral Spelling for learning to write new words.
Visual drills: Engaging activities that solidify the connection between letters and their corresponding sounds.
Explicit instruction: Breaking down complex concepts into clear, manageable steps.
The results are transformative. That "Aha!" moment when a struggling reader finally cracks the code is pure magic. Their frustration melts away, replaced by a newfound confidence and a genuine love for learning.
