Personalized Learning

I am dedicated to creating a safe, supportive online environment where your child’s unique strengths and learning style are celebrated. Through Orton-Gillingham principles and interactive, gamified methods, I strive to make learning to read a fun and rewarding experience.

My goal is to instill a positive,“I can do” attitude toward reading and help your child build confidence and resilience in their learning journey.

Achieving Automaticity with Effective Reading Strategies

I offer personalized instruction designed to help your child achieve automaticity in letter-sound correspondence, word recognition, and spelling. My teaching focuses on effective strategies for decoding and understanding words, aiming to make the learning process engaging and enjoyable.

What is Orton-Gillingham (O.G.)

Orton-Gillingham (O.G.) is a proven instructional approach designed to help individuals with reading, spelling, and writing challenges associated with dyslexia. Unlike a method or program, O.G. is a comprehensive approach focusing on word-identification skills and teaching reading at the word level. While it can help develop reading comprehension, that’s not the primary goal.

What is the Orton-Gillingham Approach?

Orton-Gillingham is not just a method or a program but a comprehensive approach to teaching reading and spelling. It is designed to be:

Systematic and Explicit: OG provides clear, step-by-step instruction in reading and spelling that integrates multiple language skills.
Structured: The approach emphasizes teaching the structure of language, which includes the sound system (phonology) and the writing system (orthography).

Decoding: Blending letter sounds to form words.
Word Analysis: Recognizing letters, retrieving sounds, holding sounds in memory, blending them, and understanding word meanings.
Reading Fluency: Mastering letter-sound correspondence and using contextual clues for accurate word recognition and comprehension.
